Or front panel brackets too-- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4368606

And can't be purchased already printed?

Mounting in a drive bay would be one option.

Another option would be to use a straight angle IDC 40-pin female to female adapter to plug the adapter directly into the IDE port, like a makeshift IDE DOM.

Sure. There are a lot of options on ebay for $10-$15

I would guess that out of 3 or 4 modems with a double line jack, you can find a bracket that will mount it to a spare slot hole and leave the SD card externally accessible.

True. Modems have became a consumable resource that when activated, produce a ISA/PCI slot cover.

Search Ebay for "sd ide bay". Make sure you don't mistakenly order a 1/3 height, because while cheaper, few computers use that size.

My local public library provides some high quality 3d printers that the public can use. They print stuff for me at $1 per 30 grams of filament, and I think the quality is higher than most of the guys selling on ebay.

Just a regular old 56k or slower PCI or ISA modem like this..

And the hole where the phone ports are will probably be big enough for SD card... check a few to find one with mounting holes in right position, or mount it to only one and ziptie strap it to the other, or add a metal strap or something.
