Thank you for all your comments and criticism. Sorry for
causing this drama. I decide to change the design to stop
the disputes.
The original intention of this boards was
never copying LZ’s design. To be honest, I didn’t know LZ Se
when I designed this case. I saw several Lz’s boards on
/r/mk such as CLS, CP, Iron, but SE was not familiar to me.
I’ve never owned even one of Lz’s boards. On the other hand,
the idea behind Mars was mainly around the front side logo
inserts. The straight line and Mars logo is another part of
aluminum to be inserted in the holes. I’ve never saw another
case has this design (tell me if I’m wrong).
After I
designed this case, I shared this render with several
friends. Some of them pointed out that it’s too similar to
the
cheap 60% cases. That was my initial concern before IC was posted.
After
IC was posted, someone pointed out the it’s too similar to
Lz SE. It indeed is. My first thought was this design should
be a commonly used design because even the cheap 60% cases
are using this design. I mentioned OTD 356CL and 356 mini
because their bottom designs are all widely used on many
boards nowadays. I thought that’s the same case. Too many
boards are using the same bottom design as 356CL but there’s
no dispute. I’m curious what’s the borderline. You can say
Mars is too similar to LZ Se but is there a way to measure
it? I’m open for opinions. No need for sarcasm and
trolling.
limitz mentioned the screw hole is a direct
copy of LZ SE. Actually that’ the only way to attach to top
and bottom case if the edge is like that.
Again, I
didnt intend to copy others designs and I will never copy.
The following are some modified designs
Happy new year!

After the 60% project
Snowflake
was cancelled, I designed a new case but for 80% keyboards.
I call it MARS 8.0
Here’re some renders:

here.
The idea behind this design is to cut out
legends/graphs in the front, then insert anodized aluminum
parts into the cutouts.
Right now I just put a straight
line and a “MARS” logo over there.
Feedback is welcome.
I’m looking forward to making this board happen.
