Low profile shock absorbing feet for 2020 V-slot (single) profile (remix)

Update May 3rd, 2023: added a “Special” version with a 0.4 gap between the two “in-rail” parts, as well as shorter partial in-rail section… you'll see when you download and import into your slicer. The idea here is to have a better gap (of course) but also force the issue with the slicer to support the “upper” part. Doesn't do much in Cura, perhaps with some plugins it will, but just try it out and let me know if it works better.

This remix makes the feet a little stiffer, and rotates 90 degrees in relation to the aluminum extrusion.
Finally I made the horizontal sections solid for added strength.

The original snaps on the inner side of both 2020 profiles, for a single, that is not possible.

This is a remix of the original feet, as well as my own PLA-related strength enhancements.

Two variants:

1. Snap-in.
   These should snap in the extrusion and stay there until forced out. If they don't fit your profile, let me know.
2. Slide-in.
   The preferred method; these fit perfectly, but you need an open end and unobstructed path to the position you want the feet in. Most likely, end-caps, bolts and other stuff is in the way :)

Notes: 

(printed with the spool PLA that came with the Ender-5, assuming they shipped their own brand)

Infill as high as you like, there is not much to fill in, but to be sure, at least 75%.

Supports are needed to prevent the snap-in portion to sag.
