Split YZ plates for printing on smaller beds like the Ender 3 Pro.

The intent here is to print these plates, join them with some type of strong 2-part epoxy, and use these temporarily on the LowRider 3 CNC to mill final YZ plates out of ½" MDF as recommended.

Recommendation is to print with 50%-70% infill and at least 4 walls around screw holes.

Update: Printed using these files and it worked great. I used JB Weld MarineWeld that I had on hand it's very strong.

Original idea from @DougJosephdesign8stu in this forum post.

The difference between Doug's model and this one is this model uses the more recent version of the YZ plates for easier access to screws during assembly. I also enlarged the Linear Rail mount holes to 2.5mm for it to be tapped for M3 screws others have mention doing when using Metal or Acrylic plates.
