I just opened up the step file. Your construction technique is similar to 192's gearbox from 2012, but you currently don't have any hard connections. If you look at theirs (though I'm no expert on it, I've just seen pictures) they still have some bolted connections. While it looks like you're going for a press fit, having some hard connections would be wise. Reliability and durability is key on gearboxes, especially your drive. The last thing you want is one of those plates falling off.

Also, as far as condensing it goes, you could cut down the shafts on the CIMs, which would allow you to pull everything in some more.

One last thing, as far as face-mounting goes, the sides extend some distance past the front. It's not a big deal, but it may annoy you a bit if you want to face-mount these.

Other than that, great work. Can't wait to see where this goes!
You are completely right I forgot about the standoffs and bolted connections (duh) I really meant to add those just slipped my mind. I forgot to mention I messed with the gear ratios a bit and I am planning on adding a third to put the ratio back where it was on the ball shiftier normally.
