Protractor and Wrench for Nylock Bed Leveling Mod

Description

I just installed the Nylock bed leveling mod on my MK3S and wanted to take the guesswork out of turning the bed screws in accordance with directions from the Prusa Leveling Guide in Octoprint. Each mark on the protractor is 5 degrees, and the pointer is designed for a snug fit around the 2mm allen key for the screws. You could highlight the marks with a different filament color but, since I was going for function over form with this tool, I simply used a black Sharpie.

I also added in the STL for my 5.5mm wrench - this works well if you need to snug up or loosen a nut after you've already got the bed down. I originally designed one that had a more standard wrench profile, but it wasn't beefy enough given the material it's made of. Also, I recommend using PLA for the wrench instead of PETG since it's more rigid. It still can't handle much torque, but allows plenty for the Nylock mod.
