Bearing block for SW unnecessary? #38

Description

[a]_x_bearing_block_SW_beta0.stl is only used for SW, but the V2/Trident MGN12 carriage can mount to the same rail without this extra piece.

I suggest changing the SW carriage to mount directly to the rail, the same as V2/Trident. This would save an extra part, 4 screws, and 4 heat set inserts. I was able to redesign the original SW carriage in this way and have used it without issues.

Maybe I am missing an advantage of the extra block, but I suspect it exists simply because it was designed first. When Trident was designed, a better way to make the carriage was discovered.
