1rst build, time to do next step

The way you've mounted the bed looks a little weak to me. The bed box section could rotate about the fixing 'rails', so the end fixity is poor, which means the bed itself will sag more when a weight is placed upon it. You could instead bolt the bed frame directly to the machine frame.

I was thinking about that, bolt bed directly to the frame
but then I have to make the bed a very accurate, This means that zero play between the bed and frame
I chose the easy way, the bed pulls out like a drawer and can have a few mm error

No BAD idea it will resonate and will show in the quality of cut.

You don't need to make the bed tight fit just have few mm gap and put the angle brackets so they fasten to the insides of steel uprights. Make the side guards out of flexible rubber or plastic like Damp course fasten to bed sides and at top rail so it travels with bed and the brackets will be underneath out of way and accessible from out side.

Then you just surface the sacrificial board on the bed to bring parallel to machine.
