Workbee Z axis upgrade with mgn12 rails

Workbee Z Axis Plate Improved with Additional Holes for MGN12 Rails Mount. Inspired by Workbeast's innovative design, I decided to take matters into my own hands and upgrade my existing Workbee plate. Since I couldn't get a spare aluminum plate, I seized the opportunity to modify it during my day job at a machine shop. With some careful milling, the result was a remarkably stable Z axis that remained firmly in place, even under increased pressure. A slight tilt in the Y axis became apparent when applying higher pressure, but I'm confident this will be an easy fix for my next upgrade. The full parts list for this mod includes: 1. Original Workbee Z Axis Plate 2. Pair of MGN12 rails and four carriages 3. 3D printed or milled bracket to hold the brass nut 4. Additional bolts for rail mount, bracket mount, and other components As you can see, my existing Z plate was slightly bent, which might have been caused by the load when assembled or perhaps a supplier issue with Bulkman3D's original product.
