PCBA-attached sconces

Add-on diffusers for blink(1) mk2 USB RGB LED

There are two methods I can see for attaching add-on diffusers to blink(1):

* mount directly to PCBA

* mount to metal frame (that carries PCBA)

I was initially designing for the former, but I think it will be structurally stronger (and safer for the PCBA) if I design for the latter.

I've uploaded several attempts at PCBA-mounted sconces. They work... sorta.

Things I like about some of the designs, even with the bad mounting technique:

* the circular arc diffuser is minimally classic

* two of the designs have inserts for a message to help define what the blink(1) is for (see the "NO NO NO") in one of the photos
