Y-axis kinematic, three-point coupling for the new magnetic bed #14

Problem

The four-point printer bed is over-constrained. Maintaining a normal Z vector to the bed plane is complicated by comparison to a three-point mount. Thermal expansion at 200 to 300°C may bind the four mounting screws. Implementing a kinematic mount to mitigate this is less difficult with fewer mounting points.
