Bed Riser for Folgertech FT-5

**NOTE: This part has been completely redesigned and the newer part should be used instead (uses less plastic, much more rigid mounting, and looks better) -- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3719437** The purpose of this part (qty 3 or 4, typically, required) is to raise the bed of an FT-5 printer by 48mm. Why would you want to do that? Because I designed a new carriage assembly for FT-5, BMG extruder, RJ45 cable connector board, and BLTouch, for the purpose of keeping the nozzle as close as possible to the MGN12H bearing slider. But it brought the nozzle so far up, that the bed on the stock FT-5 won't reach the nozzle! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3688067 So these bolt where the M3 screws and springs go (that suspend the heated bed) and then use the old springs and screws to remount the bed to its new position 48mm higher Print in the orientation of the STL (for strength) no need to use supports. Edit: added an additional style with a longer platform for holding up cork boards or other thermal insulators underneath the raised bed.
