Carved and Pinned Gantry for The100 v1.1

In an effort to reduce weight I modified The100 gantry geometry by carving out excess material and replacing m5 bolts with 5x45mm pins. There are holes that can be used to remove pins if needed.

I haven't noticed a difference, but I'm focused on speed not quality. Carving was done purely for aesthetics. It doesn't save significant printed part weight and I haven't validated whether it helps or hurts printer tuning. The biggest weight savings was found by replacing 5x45mm steel pins with 5x45mm carbon pins. I have these in my Voron v2.4 and they've held up extremely well.
