Dual extruder mk8+e3d v6 x-carriage for lm8uu prusa-mendel like printers

I've designed a Dual extruder MK8+E3D V6 'X-carriage' for LM8UU bearings, compatible with Prusa-Mendel like printers to fit alongside the existing extruder on Thingiverse. Check out this link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2690886 I couldn't find the original X carriage design online or on the creator's profile, so I decided to remix it, choosing a compact version that fits two screws at the bottom of the extruder behind the belt clamp piece - that's why it's in two separate pieces. It works perfectly, 100% tested and functioning flawlessly. However, it needs modifications for the bottom screw holes on the extruder base because they don't fit properly, and adjustments to the belt clamp position since the belt touches the carriage slightly. Despite these minor design issues, it still operates at 100% efficiency, so I won't make changes and will continue using it. If you'd like to make improvements, feel free to do so - I'll share this version anyway because someone might find it useful. Instead of that, I'm planning a completely revised X carriage with the extruder integrated into one piece when I have more time!
