A simple remodel, I did not take my time, but I spaced it out a bit to support 5 3.5" drives instead of 4 like the original model.
I have computers that use the IcyDock FatCage, which supports 5 3.5" drives. I found this model when setting up another server and took the liberty to make an edit.
Included a model with cutouts to save print time and filament and one without filament savings. Please get the original Sled Guides and other Fan parts for the OG Post.

I included a simple print test to ensure it works for your Hard Drives, but I tested it with several Hitachi Ultra, WD Blue/Red/Purple/Gold, and Seagate Ironwolf for spacing.
EDIT: I would print the rails 98% on the Z/X, retaining the length as the same size. This helped any tight tolerances depending on your printer on the cage print.
I printed the cage with a 0.4 nozzle at 0.28mm height and 0.48 width setting on my CR10S Pro v2.
EDIT2: Moved from a Rosewill Thor V2 Full ATX that had 6x5.25" to a Rosewill L4500 4U with 9x5.25 and have 15x3.5 layout. See included pictures. I did not install the front fans. I have 3x140mm Noctua Performance fans (Mid-Chassis Server Style) creating negative pressure, and it works fine when the lid is closed. I saw 42-45C during a parity check on Unraid pulling a lot of IOPS; otherwise, drive spin-down options have been enabled after 60 of idle. I see no issues with anyone using this option if they have decent ambient temps and proper fan cooling.
