R6 parts to 'avoid print problems'

Prusa have just made minor changes to the MINI-y-idler and MINI-y-belt-holder to "to avoid print problems" no details of what problems might be avoided! Changes are:

MINI-y-idler : Chamfer near cut for the rib - thin wall elimination

MINI-y-belt-holder : Length increased by 0.5 mm on both sides near channel for the wrench - thin wall elimination.

See https://github.com/prusa3d/Original-Prusa-MINI/releases for more details.

I've not taken time to compare the two versions to be honest. I don't have the experience to tell what impact on prints the changes would make 😀 After a bit of a roller-coaster couple of weeks with my Mini I'm taking the "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" approach right now!

Looking at the notes I don't think it means print problems with your prints once fitted, it looks like it means problems printing the actual parts, ie adding chamfers to make printing the parts easier and more reliable.
