Thank you to @heroeant  both for posting the .step files and also for the well thought out and well made design!

I wanted to modify this model so that I could use two hdd's via the sata Y adapter available from the store for the zimaboard, I also wanted to access my systems boot SSD using a USB to SATA adapter plugged into the front of the zimaboard. I'm well aware that this is a bad way to do things but I kinda don't care.

I also found that I did not have enough M3 heat-set inserts on hand to put this together so I removed the spots for heat-set inserts and added holes to instead use 4.5mm wide zip ties to hold the whole case together. Again I know this is not ideal but It did work quite well for me. 

Lastly I added vent holes to the ssd-hdd cable cover. I don't really know if this will help with cooling in any meaningful way but it was fun and it MAY help so seemed like a decent idea.
