Add new REV D version of BTU mod (#27)
- This updates the BTU top to the REV D version of the Ploopy top, which is screwed together using self-tapping screws instead of M3 screws with threaded inserts. - This is untested so use at your own risk. There may be another change brought in with REV D that I've missed, and not copied into the mod's REV D.
