Improved K40 cable chain brackets

I printed out the original version of this cable chain and while it fit very well, I had issues with the brackets that didn't fit my K40 printer. The larger X-axis bracket was too long and would hit the back of the case before the gantry reached its stop switch. Additionally, the laser head bracket wouldn't fit with the default screws holding the metal plate down. Those stock screws are quite short, requiring longer ones to work with the printed L-bracket, which I didn't want to do. These files replace the original brackets. The X-axis bracket has been shortened and the L-bracket now features a chamfered slot at its bottom hole for easier tightening under the stock screws. The default orientation of the L-bracket has also been changed to print stronger in the direction it is most likely to encounter stress. The original model can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3761935. It includes links for the chain, which are necessary for this design to make sense.
