ZimaBoard Modular 1U Rack Remix - 1/4" Rod + Wall Mount Option

I really liked @MartinRowan's Modular ZimaBoard mounting solution, but being in the US, getting non-freedom-unit threaded rods can be pricey.On the other hand, ¼"-20 Threaded Rods are about $2 for a 2ft section at the big-box stores of either the Blue or Orange variety.  You can see one pictured in the gallery.If you don't have a Blue/Orange store nearby, you can also locate these rods at the local hardware store or a plumbing/HVAC supply house. Additionally, it seemed like we could also cut out the rack altogether with the 1W and 2W holders by adding wall-mount options.So, I've added some simple screw holes to facilitate wall mounting with easy leveling via the wide bottom screw mount.I don't think the 2W one needs more than 2 screws, but feel free to suggest otherwise.I used Tek screws to attach them to the wall and made sure the screw heads were recessed for that. Another little tweak was to fillet the edges on the bed - when a 2W sled is weighed down, it can catch on the back of the holder. Finally, I tossed in L/R indicators on the ears and some carets directing to the front of each holder.I just needed to see it at a glance is all.  All these are uploaded as STL and STEP files in both ¼-20 and M5 versions.  And I have a few other ideas knockin' around I may try out down the line. Be sure to do a small test print for the 1W or 2W holders… maybe I should crop out a test print for that.I had some issues with material shrinkage between different PLAs.  You should be using something that handles higher temps than PLA, anyway, but… I didn'tHope this helps someone out!
