Update Y Carriage Plate (Remixed)

Description

I Could Not Get A Level Build Plate Very Easily With My Stock Y-Carriage (Actually Never Got It Level, But Good Enough To Print This) And The Wanhao Duplicator I3/Monoprice Maker Y Carriage By Reprapchampion Is Too Large To Print On This Printer. While, I Could Have Easily Purchased A Replacement Metal Carriage From Reprapchampion Or Another Source, I Wanted To Refresh My Cad Chops, See If This Could Be Done, And See If The Results Would Provide Better Prints. I Redesigned It Such That The Main Structure Is Printed Separately From The Wings Which Will Support The Posts From The Heated Bed. To Join Them Together, I Added A Dovetail Pocket In The Main Carriage Plate And Dovetail Tabs In The Post Supports. The Print Has Some Flex To It, But Is More Rigid Than The Original Steel Y Carriage. It Is Also Nearly 60 Grams Lighter, So We Can Add An Additional Smooth Rod Bearing Under The Right Side Of The Carriage Without Increasing The Weight Of The Assembly. Let Me Know In The Comments If You Print This, Have Any Questions, What You Think, Or Any Problems You Encounter. The Original Is Licensed Gpl, So This Production Inherits This License. Please Make Sure You Provide Attribution To Any Remixes.
