3.5" HDD to 2.5" SSD adapter for server hot swap tray by sergeys

I had this server with 3.5" hot swap trays, but I didn't want to put those old clunkers (aka HDDs) in it. The problem is that 2.5" SSD does not align with mount holes. And you can't drill brom below to secure it, as it has to be flush to fit in the server. In addition, the alignment of SATA connector pin is such that SSD has to lay flat on the bottom, and flat against the edge of the tray. So I built an adapter that aligns with HDD mount points, and holds SSD in place with small dimples and some friction.
The particular chassis I had was Chenbro RM13704. I'm not sure if it would fit anything else, but please comment if you find it fits other chassis as well. Also, I'm attaching SCAD file, so you can customize dimensions, if it doesn't fit.
PS: also! If you can see from SCAD screenshot, all my drawings have this annoying thin film on edges of everything I subtract from, unless I add an explicit overlap. If you have a suggestion how to fix it (wihthout arbitrary 0.01 adjustments) - I'd appreciate if you could let me know!
