These files were created and distributed by WinCtrl over on Github, I am simply posting them here with a detailed BOM and notes from my experience alongside the step files being exported separately from the original file.

Notes

You will also might need spacers to adapt the 2060 extrusions to the FCU brackets. I used these from GxMech

The original plans call for a 783mm 2060 extrusion for the vertical support for the FCU and Gear Panel. I think this is a little short for everything to fit cleanly. I also feel the total height is a little short for my setup, So the leg lengths (385mm & 314.2) and the vertical 2060 may need to be changed depending on your setup, 

I altered the design on my pedestal by removing the gaps between the sections in order to save space. I'm not sure I would do this again as it limits the ability to place the vertical profiles where I want them. 

I also added a second 2060 profile to create more stability. It works, but things start to get a little tight since I shortened the overall width.

You can order the EU1030 from Alibaba retailers for SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, but your experience may vary. I ordered a few meters of profile when I started this project and haven't received them 3 months later. Got the parts from JLCMC in about a week.

I 3D printed all of the brackets in PETG and they seem to work okay. Be a little wobbly.

I have now machined the 90* brackets from aluminum and it has added a significant amount of rigidity to the pedestal.
