Workbee Z axis upgrade with mgn12 rails

Description

Workbee z axis plate improved by puting some aditional holes for mgn12 rails mount. I liked the idea of [Workbeast](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4090099), but I did not had oportunity to get a spare aluminium plate for replacement of original one. I also have oportunity to mill my existing workbee plate in may day job, so thats, how I did it. The result is z axis stable as rock, and by adding higher pressure on it you can see some tilt in y axis. I gues that will be the second improvement later on. Also I put a brass nut instead of the original nylon one, becouse it would wear out too quickly by using 80mm spindle. The full part list for this mod is: 1. Original workbee z axis plate 2. A pair of mgn12 rails and 4 carrages. 3. 3d printed or milled bracket for brass nut holding. 4. aditional bolts for rail mount, bracket mount and so on. As you can see I had to mill the z plate, it was bent, cant say if it was bent by the load when assembled or from the suplyer(bulkman3d)
