That would be awesome if you could provide this.

yeah that would be cool!

As I imagine it, the easiest way would be, to take the tilting case SVGs and convert them to a KiCAD PCB. It seems like this self-hostable web-tool can do that. The code it uses to do that can be found here (JavaScript, GPLv3).

I tried it, and either I do not understand how this web thing works, or.. it does not work (I can not get the generated KiCad file). I guess some JS wizard would have to have a look at it.

... yet an other option - which seems more feasible to me right now - would be to convert the SVG (generated from the AI files) to DXF, which can then be imported into KiCad. this is something I already did with an SVG logo, so that should work.

I used svgToDxf, but there might be better options out there.
