I'm not being negative, just trying to understand how you can use such a device to align a printer with the required accuracy and precision. If it works I'll buy a laser leveler, but every laser I've ever seen produces a relatively wide beam with indistinct edges - suitable for hanging pictures or framing a deck, but precision alignment?. Between that and the basic +/- 4 degree spec I can't see how it would be possible to perform an accurate alignment. If you have a technique that works I'd love to hear some details about it.

Hmm I am tempted to get a Titan as I want a volcano block and some hardened steel nozzles. I thought I might seriously lighten this 80 tooth pulley and make an extruder. 4/1 or 5/1 with either a 20 or 16 tooth pinion.Quote

It doesn't come with a motor. I've seen claims (not by E3D) that it reliably drives filament with just a 20 mm long pancake motor, but I have my doubts about it. I'm just using the old extruder's motor and it seems to work fine. I think it's a 35 mm motor.

For me it is about availability and freight costs to New Zealand (about as far away from anywhere that you can go) There was a local supplier of 2020 so I got 2x 5.8 meter lengths. The hardware is from China which for me is nearly local . Anyway for me the Tnuts and corner blocks seemed cheap in these quantities and are handy to have for other projects.Quote

I have never used 20mm extrusion but may give it a try at some point. The 1 1/2" or 40 mm stuff I use is industrial surplus that I buy at scrap yards for $2/lb, but it isn't always available when I need it or in the quantities that I might need. Does using all those corner blocks and hardware plus 20 mm extrusion cost less than using 40 mm extrusion without all the extra stuff?

Be sure to put the belts into your model and check for clearances at both ends of the Y axis

Great spotting. Thanks a lot. That's serendipity. I will rework the design and see how it goes. It looks like no print space would be lost.Quote

Take a look at this. When I was looking at datasheets for these rails. I believe the holes are spaced perfectly so you could extend the X Rails a bit and connect them to the blocks on the Y, using 2 screws. That would make it alot more rigid, and you wouldn't need to fabricate the "ears" on the green part.
