Captive Nut Redesign

After a lot of testing with the Z axis, i encountered a large amount of problems with motor stalling, especially when the dremel tool was mounted.  The problem was that the U-Screws weren't designed to take large amounts of load while maintaining low friction.  So, i went to a new design, which was simply a metal enclosure for a nut. It works much better, and allows for much smoother vertical movement!
