Improvements to M14_mount_rear_2020base_v2 #149

In my experience, the M14_mount_rear_2020base_v2-part does not fasten completely in its current design. It will shift vertically depending on pressure, rotating around the M4-screws.

Possible improvements:

  1. Add the raised middle "band" that fits into the alu-profile.
  2. Two M4 screws on each side, instead of just one.

Both of these design choices already are in the other 2020base-parts and stops them from rotating in relation to the alu-profile. Example: M14_mount_right_2020base and M14_mount_left_2020base.

I cannot find information about how to contribute changes to the 3D parts to make these changes. I can just assume a PR should include changes to the Solidworks,.step and .stl-files and I will try to make these changes if no one else beats me to it.


Closing issue due to opening a PR instead. Easier to discuss there.
