Z axis rod/screw Mount #2 (modded) Max Micron and other Prusa i3

This is a slight modification to my original upper Z mounts. The first ones I made had the outer face hanging off the edge of the frame, which was an issue since it's 2020 extrusion on top. It annoyed me so much that I moved the mounting screw in and tweaked the face just a bit to keep it inside the frame structure. As before, I've got mounts for the nuts, so no wrench is needed in tight spots to tighten the rod caps. Just be careful not to over-tighten, or you'll bend the motor mount down and throw the whole printer out of square. There's also an extra screw mount in the back if you need it, though it's not really necessary. Adding a return down the back helps keep the mount square to the frame for easier assembly. For offset-style Prusa i3 clones, this modification works great. Just keep in mind that it's not designed for "inline" printers where the rod is in the same plane as the screw.
