Mitigate torquing in micromanipulator top rail #20

Micromanipulator top rail (up/down axis) has a tendency to torque when turned. Reducing this tendency will be especially helpful for the tethering setup.

Things to try:

[ ] Conduct qualitative torque test with one nut vs two nuts
[ ] Add in solid body where print supports usually occur in rail production (also removes need for support)
