This is a modification based on the Lian Li Additional I/O Kit that allows the Startech USB 3.0 Internal Multi-Card Reader to be added to the Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO case.  

 

Remove the metal shell from the Startech card reader and install the board in the new housing that matches the front I/O on the EVO case.  You will need four flat head M3 x 16mm screws to secure the lid to the housing and hold the board in place.  There's also two transparent pieces on the front panel of the card reader that need to be removed and installed on the new housing so the data transfer LEDs are visible.  The card reader and cable take up nearly every millimeter of available space so it's a very tight fit but it works.  The case will put a slight amount of pressure on the housing once it has been installed but so far I haven't had any issues and it works exactly as planned.

 

Here's the link to the Startech USB 3.0 Internal Multi-Card Reader: USB 3.0 Internal Multi-Card Reader - Internal Card Readers | StarTech.com

The main housing can be printed either vertically with the front I/O ports on the bed if you want to use the bed texture for the face or flat on the bed. I tried a couple support styles and found that Auto Tree Supports (Slim) works the best. The lid should also be printed upright with the side that has the notch for the USB 3.0 cable on the bed with Auto Tree Supports (Slim) selected.
