The superglue-on-alu held fine.
Calibrating against a laser level. Its easier than a transparent hose with water. Glued down the bubble on one end, shaved away some plastic so the other can move a little, aligned roughly, add a drop of glue, align, let glue dry and re-check.
The horizontal bubble is correct now and nothing wobbles or moves anymore.
Just needs repeating for the other two.
What fun can be had by buying crap tools! 🤪

Many problems.
The bubble levels (Libellen [Dragonflies] in German) were only glued on one end, so they could also move.
And the black part was insufficiently glued with just one dot, so that moved.
And the aluminium wasn't attached at all, just kinda wobbling around the yellow plastic bit.
So I glued one half together to have a fixed edge to calibrate the bubbles against.
Superglue doesn't work too great on aluminium, so if it pops off I'll use some PU instead, but I locked it in around both edges so it might work.

The calibration seems to be done with superglue. I have that. Lets see if it can be improved.

Hmm, which one can you trust? 🥺

"This “hubris of the ultra-wealthy,” The Spirit Level at 15 observes, “is destroying our world.”
We can put some chilling numbers on that destruction: Our richest 1 percent worldwide, the new Equality Trust report points out, are now emitting “as much greenhouse gas emissions” as our world’s poorest 66 percent combined.
Shrinking that “massive environmental footprint” of the world’s richest, the Equality Trust analysis stresses, “must be recognized as indispensable to controlling the climate crisis.”
