Original Prusa Mini ++ Mosquito Conversion

<h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Print this with the visible side down, so you get that nice textured look whenever you stare at your prints as they happen. You shouldn't need any supports, as I designed the holes like Prusa does.</p><p>20% infill (I use gyroid because it reminds me of Animal Crossing and looks cool)</p><p>PETG or higher heat resistance material should be perfect. You might get away with PLA, but I'm not sure I'd chance it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Update Jan 10 2022</strong></p><p>If this support included version doesn't print right, I'll remove it. I'll also very likely change the support in the power and ethernet port, since I have no idea what I was thinking supporting some of that circular hole…</p><ul><li>added a version of the control box with with built-in supports since I couldn't get Cura to do what I wanted it to</li></ul><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/50708/rich_content/c531a572-b374-4b9d-ab06-70a0ee59c93d/capture.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%223c92b7e8-3d34-47d5-903e-f0fbc365ba20%22%2C%22w%22%3A672%2C%22h%22%3A495%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Update Jan 9 2022</strong></p><p>Putting the box on the rail, I found out that even when completely tightened, the slide-in t-nuts are not putting any pressure on the extrusion at all, meaning the box can slide around as it pleases. So this is still the R8 D6 revision, but just edited that part. I'm hoping this fixes it, since the box is around 10 hours to print for me.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/50708/rich_content/14b1096a-8278-47fe-a02d-f21b46af2661/capture.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%226230fb91-194c-409e-b018-e760820055c2%22%2C%22w%22%3A1194%2C%22h%22%3A692%7D"></figure><ul><li>Added my restyled front Y-axis piece (with MMU insert).
