and any tips for getting even drive sprockets
A really simple way to do this is to make the entire module out of boxed aluminum (like this). That way you will only have to drill one hole, and it will match up on both sides.

As for the miter gear; be careful. Make sure the two drive axles are directly over each other at right angles, and leave some room above the miter gear so you can position it up and down.
