new mendel y axis bearing holder

I made this new bearing holder for the y axis on the mono/tricolor mendel.

Its the same design as the original except for the fact the holder for the nut has been swapped around. The original mount had two nuts on it followed by a washer spring and then the screw to adjust the hot plate. the downside about that was a few thing. 1 the nut would get loosened by the vibrations of the y axis moving back and forth and 2. it became ungodly hard to level the plate because the nuts would get tightened against each other. now its not a problem, the holder will now be able to adjust with less effort and the nut wont loosen itself anymore.

I would highly recommend making these out of abs so they don't warp so easily and you wont have to adjust your bed so much. let me know what you think.
