How does it work out for you?
Why did you choose Chebyshev? Seems like Sarrus would be even easier to build...
intuitive i felt that a double Chebyshev would preform good enought even with low precision parts, a double or triple sarrus might do that to but in a Chebyshev all rotational joints are coplanar and i felt that it were simpler to construct at low precision as its function less depends on the joints ability to withstand sideways momentum. A sarrus links linearity is derived from the perpendicular stiffness of rotational joints there for stability and linearity depend directly on sideways joint precision, in a Chebyshev linearity is derived from the relative length of the linkage. sideways stability could be increased with further cross bracing.
the challenge is can a sarrus be made without a drill-press

How does the blue mounting frame keep its 90 degree angle?
the blue frame could use some diagonal cross bar at the base and back or be strapped to a tree
