PEX96-Alt

[P3X's frame](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2188747) is a finely crafted design, but incorporating Lizard95's electronics made the entire model significantly heavier than expected.\r\n\r\nTo address this issue, I've created a revised version of the build by removing unnecessary material.\r\n\r\nIn addition to reducing weight, I've also redesigned the motor holes to optimize cable management. With my "X" orientation, the cables now run straight along the arms up to the central stack, eliminating the need for sideways routing.\r\n\r\nMy remix is based on the _Top v0.3_ & _Bottom v0.5_ files.\r\n\r\nThe expected weight reduction is 2-3 grams.\r\n\r\n#### Summary of changes\r\n\r\n+ Motor holes are now in "X"-style orientation for improved cable management.\r\n+ Central ribs have been removed from all four axes: front, back, left, and right.\r\n+ The width of the front bracket between supports has been shortened.\r\n+ Support ribs for motor cables on arms have also been shortened.\r\n+ Frame protrusion into arms has been reduced.\r\n+ Unnecessary material has been removed from the bottom plate between mounting holes and support.\r\n+ Material has been removed from the center pad, resulting in a 2mm reduction at the bottom (with some remaining material to protect the stack's underside) and a full 3mm hole at the top.\r\n\r\nDue to this last change, PEX's logo was unfortunately omitted as I struggled to recreate it in OpenSCAD.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n##### Note\r\n\r\nThe Thingiverse OpenSCAD renderer is experiencing issues. The source file has been configured with the necessary options for correct model viewing (`convexity` of imported STLs >=3).
