MWO TimberWolf - Modified Rear Toes (Less fragile joint)

A simple remix with just an update to the Rear Toe for the TimberWolf model uploaded by @BobertMax here:

At default scaling on an FDM printer I found the rear toes were both fairly loose in the sockets and pretty fragile/easy to break while repositioning.
Because these are just scaled down versions of the other joints on the mech the stiffness drops massively on the tiny connectors for these compared to the other joints, so this remix simply fills in some of the slot on the snap fit connector and adds a big fillet to the highly stressed area, to create a stiffer, stronger base to the snap fit connector.
That's it, it's nothing fancier than that.
0.15mm layers (or variable 0.1-0.2mm)
1mm brim for stability.
2 x walls at 0.44mm.
