When I change the config to GT2 belts and pulleys and load up main.scad, the belts aren't quite aligned with the pullies. Is that just a bug in the presentation or are there problems with using this hardware?

Is is just the presentation. Somebody else contributed the GT2 pulley definition and got it a bit wrong. I think this fixes it:

GT2x20_metal_pulley = ["GT2", 20, 12.2, 12.2 / 2 - 0.75, 8, 10, 8, 5, 18.0, 1.0, 6, 3.75, [0, 0, -1], 0, M3_grub_screw];

Thanks! That looks much better. I created a quick pull request with the change so it won't get forgotten.
