Enlarge holes for Dongguan Kaihua Hotswap sockets #75

Hi. I have printed keyboards using your excellent tool on two separate occasions. On both occasions I found the case holes too small to receive the hotswap sockets. I poked my soldering iron through the holes to widen them, and was then able to comfortably mount the hotswap sockets inside the holes. I also noted that the bar extending down from the case immediately above the hotswap socket butts up against the head of the plastic hotswap socket, and would benefit from a little more distance from the socket. I think the it needs more distance on the Y axis between the bar and the socket. I think the sockets I'm using are standard, they look like this: https://kbdfans.com/products/mechanical-keyboard-switches-kailh-pcb-socket

Could you enlarge the holes and move the bar up a little? Thank you! George Screen Shot 2021-02-04 at 5 01 54 PM

Just adding the comment, that for khail choc switches, the hole is actually the perfect size. For whomever takes this issue, it will have to be conditional to the switch type.
