haven't ruled it out, manufacture is easy enough anyway and it could
be very light, the aluminium carriage with the two bevelled edges
could be pocketed out substantially.
I showed an expert on parallel kinematic machines one of my 2-axis
machines running with these belt drives, he thought they were linear
motors. For that I was using some tiny 9mm wide thomson rails, just a
single carriage on them but I only have two and they are a tad short.
