Small debris guard to prevent plastic (or whatever) from falling into a ball screw mount. Recenetly heard some strange noises from the z motors of a V Core-4 (with a 1605 ball screw conversion) and found a rather large piece of a very hard plastic had made it's way into the gap between the printer base plate and the ball screw and the only way to remove was to take apart the z mount. This was not fun so made this small part that screws into the printer base plate, using the same holes/bolts the z motor attaches.
Probably makes sense to print this in something very durable and very temperature resistant. The model is pretty easy to print, I used an unfilled PPS and it came out more/less perfect (just throw some brims on it to be sure it doesn't lift off the built plate)
