The mounts that came with my printer were very bad and made the bed very wobbly. So, i designed and 3d printed new mounts for the y-axis. It is the best upgrade you can have to the stock rails and make the bed much more stable. Also, because i raised the z-axis end stop, i raised the mounts by 3 mm but i also include the files with the original dimensions. For the installation you will need 4 M3 nuts and 4 M3L15 or larger bolts, to mount them to the 2020 extrusions you can use the stock bolts and for the end stop switch also. The holes are designed to the exact dimensions that they should be, so it will be a tight fit, if the holes are too tight you can set the horizontal expansion to -0.1 or -0.2. Use high inlfill and 6 or more perimeters to make it strong and don't overtight the M3 bolts to avoid breaking it.
