3) Can't quite see how the Y axix bearings will work (D) assume there are two bars 1 top and 1 bottom
4) It would be better to increase the X axis bearing distance (B) at each end, the wider the stronger, although you will lose some travel distance.
1) The bed is well below the X-rails and presumably its height will be adjustable. Having that distance as small as possible is excellent to maintain rigidity.
2) That shouldn't make a difference.
4) Yes it would be better to space the X-bearings out more. What is their current spacing?
