      @OwenD So what options are there for something that is as light and compact as a linear rail, but is actually straight? Trying to find straightness tolerances online for even basic stuff like aluminum extrusion has been a headache.

        If the rail is a banana then put it on some blocks or a rubber mat and bend it straight(er)
        A piece of wood the same length will spread the load and stop you denting it.
        If you go easy you'll be surprised how good you can get it.
        What have you got to lose?
