Abandonware. It might get some info later but for now here we are

There are 2 versions, a flush mounted version and a version that is about 15mm deeper(setback).

Either way, print one of each SideL,SideR,LatchRail,SmoothRail,Backplane. They aren't necessarily in the right orientation for printing, orient them for minimal support usage.

The chassis is screwed together with #6x1/2" wood screws

the passthrough connectors are held on with m3 cap screws(they shoud thread into the plastic but there's room for nuts if you need them)

The passthrough connectors are available on amazon and aliexpress, get extras they can be fragile.

You'll also need 2 one eigth inch metal rods to stiffen the backplane roughly 6 inches long(cut to length)

Be mindful of the sata cables you use, get thin ones, the standard ones are too thick and will cause problems with the connectors, also consider re-terminating your sata power runs, the connectors just pop off of the wires and you can just plug the connectors into the bays then stick the wires back in with a screwdriver and clip the backs on.

type of sata power that can be repinned:

type of thin sata cables: (don't get this exact one, buy the lengths you need but make sure to get the thin ones)
