Sometimes, the simplest little **** makes all the difference.
Shims. That's literally all I fabricated today. Just a few thin little strips of 24ga aluminum, and as a result, the news department is no longer freaking out about Camera 14 (which was recently rebuilt) being slightly off-level.
Total money spent replacing a 15 year old camera (and supporting equipment) which was on its last legs and has failed multiple times: $35,000
Total money spent compensating for the fact that the new robot is a heck of a lot heavier than the old one, which was causing the televator to flex: $0.00. (Sheet metal was already lying around.)
The end result:

I should add to the above: yet another win for eMachineshop. I draw a thing, they make a thing.
The bigger item here is the 1/2" thick aluminum plate under the robot, which adapts its industry-standard mounting pattern (four 3/8" bolts on a 4.375" circle) to the very nonstandard 90s vintage Telemetrics arm which was already in place, and too convenient not to re-use.

Though printer might make a difference, I was using a basic Ultimaker 2 extended for that trial, never tried again with anything else.
