I fixed my Thingiverse files for the Model 100 Option ROM Covers. When I accessed them, all the notes and instructions were missing. Thingiverse must have had a data crash and lost it.
The STL files are in millimeters, which seems the default of slicers. The finished dimensions are now listed in the summary sectionals are the basic settings I used. Good Luck!
