CAD files for the case of the Neo will be made available

[Mark Arvidson]

I also suggest Alibre Express, although it is for Windows and it's not FOSS,
but I was involved in much of the writing of it, so I enjoy seeing it being
used.

Blender would work great for this application, although it's not a
parametric solid modeler.  I'll have to give it a spin.
