There is nothing wrong with using screws as long as you have decoupled them from the platform.
Can I ask why aren't you using Vslot for the table?
I have to say I'm not a fan of the belt driven Z. This may just be personal preference but I feel that it over complicates things over just using another stepper.
It looks like you're on your way to a nice printer.

You will have no problem getting 6mm GT2 belt inside the extrusion if you position it right. You could even get 8mm if you wanted.

Hi tjb1, any news on your project? Looks really good and I'd love to see some photos or hear what problems you ran into.
I'm curious why you decided to put the belt inside of the vslot extrusions? (and not besides or under them)
Would you share your cad files?
I'm looking for a design that allows a really big printer, and using V-Slot extrusions for the carriage instead of steel rods might be ideal because of the weight and precision.
PS: Ah, I've found the wiki page and the github repository.

I have been thinking about this while reading this thread about a coreXY by zelogik who uses a bend and movable idler to tension the belt.
I had an idea but found this one that is pretty close to what I had in mind, and looks like a very compact, printable and near perfect belt tensioner. Maybe you could even make it more compact by having a printed pulley that you can screw fixed and has an "outer nut" that you can hold with a wrench while unscrewing the holding nut to make it adjustable. Damn I have to learn cad to express my ideas lol.
