Original design files? #22

Probably too much to ask, but Im using this as a basis for a larger design for a 10.1" DSI display and a PI5. Ive been slicing and dicing the STL files in tinkercad, trying to keep all dimensions the same (hinges/bezels etc), and only inserting space along the xy axis by cutting and then extruding a center part. It's working well enough. But If the original files were available in fusion, freecad or whatever was used that would make it easier. The STEP files possibly could be used and look great, but I think it would be easier to adjust the constraints only in the places I need. Probably what I have would work fine if not. Just thought it might be worth asking.

Thanks again for a great project!.

Oh and Ill be using a vortex core keyboard and an MNT Trackball if anyone was wondering. Should make a nice little (and fairly useable) retro laptop. Im a little worried the nintendo hinges will be insufficient, but Im printing in ABS so Im hoping it will hold up well enough with some jbweld to hold them in.
