MakerFarm Pegasus 8" Lead Screw Mounts by majikthyze

These are lead screw brackets for the MakerFarm Pegasus 8" printer.
Much thanks to @jlarsenwy for the design. I had to make some small changes for my recent Pegasus 8", so I've uploaded that and some analysis in case others can make use of it. Please see @jlarsenwy's design for more info.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1989637
1) The extruder motor sticks out far enough that it runs into the left bracket. I had to raise the bracket with an offset block so that the motor goes under it instead of running into it. LeadScrewBracketOffsetBlock has that model.
2) The 25mm-long M5 screws I used had large heads that didn't quite fit inside the recess of the left bracket. So I edited the design and increased the radius by 0.5mm. LeadScrewBracketLeft-5.5mm has that model.
3) On the right side, the end of the bolt that holds the delrin roller to the z axis comes out the front and is in the way of the right bracket. If you turn it around to make room for the bracket, the end then runs into the mounting plate for the electronics in some Z positions. To deal with that I used longer M5 bolts and some nylon lock nuts to mount the electronics away from the Z extrusions. So now the bolt for the delrin roller can be flipped around, making room for the right bracket. I included @jlarsenwy's LeadScrewBracketRight without any changes for completeness.
