I am no expert on licensing, but my understanding is that GPL 3 should be used for software and CC BY-SA should be used on artistic or educational works, but not software (https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-commons-license-to-software). So is a .scad file software, or art? For reference, many works on [thingiverse](https://thingiverse.com), including .scad files, are licensed CC BY-SA.

Maybe we should reorganize it and make it more general:
* maybe rename the repo to something more general
* give the folder "/source" a proper name
* make the Readme more general and create a Readme for every model
* the license file should also be adjusted, because not everthing is licensed as CC BY-SA (also see #1)https://source.puri.sm/Librem-5-Case-Creating-Community/librem-5-model/-/issues/4code for gif animation2021-07-11T22:02:22ZM.code for gif animationI havent found how the gif animation and pngs are generated.

### Overall feedback

- As you can see, the square shell increases the thickness. The visual feeling is a big box, with some slack locations, not satisfying in my opinion (but I strongly respect and thank the job done by the author).
- Volume & Power buttons + kill switches are reachable with the case, but you have to make an effort (however it is not annoying at all).
### Way of improvement (what I suggest to correct)
I have tried to summarize those suggestions in the below sketch :

1. round the corners at best to avoid the massive rectangular effect
2. round all the holes (from rectangular to rounded rectangle) to have a more welcoming design
3. except for the part surrounding the 2.5D screen, reduce the thickness to the strict minimum to gain in thinness :
- (STL width - 1.5mm) at the back,
- (STL width - 1mm) everywhere else
4. make the shell more flat against the smartphone
- reduce the height by 1mm (STL width - 1mm)
- reduce the width by 3 mm (STL width - 1mm)
5. correct the position of the speaker holes (at the bottom) and the camera holes on the back because they are not aligned:
- speakers : merge the speakers and USB holes and reduce the height by 3mm
- camera (point of view seeing the back of the smartphone) : correct the hole to 1mm to the right, and 1.5mm to the bottom.
- flash LED hole: correct the hole to 1.5mm to the bottom, and change the shape from a rugby ball to a rounded rectangle.
6. keep (rounded) chamfers for each hole for aesthetics and easy button access

# Request
I tried 3D rendering with TinkerCAD (open to beginners) but I can’t easily modify the [original STL file](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/3D_designs/-/blob/master/Librem5-Case/librem5_case_Evergreen.stl) due my lack of skills in this software, therefore I kindly ask you if somebody could clone and modify the original STL file according to my recommendations please ?
I have asked it in the forum, unfortunately without success. I think we definitely need to have at least a nice and elegant open-source case for the community.
Thank you very much for your kind help.
