One more update (again, give me a hint if I Spam the group).
Y-screws done
- protective cover
X-screw next
When all axis is done, I`m going to add some covers for the profile ends…
Have found that I lose some of the x-range using this setup, so I may move the y-screws to the sides something like this (this is only a test)

You want to keep all the moving stuff as far away from the chip generation as possible. This looks good.
Why not cut the chip guards down and place them in the outer most slots on each side using the second configuration? Just a thought.
If I use this setup I get 550mm in the X-axis (work area). If I make the “base frame” flat I might get 10-20mm more, but then I would have to make the gantry 90mm higher… I do not know, but I think the CNC is more stable if I make it like the model.

And yes, if I use the latest setup, I can move the chip guards to the outer most slots
I think something like this is fine. Y-axis Ballscrew mounts are not ready yet

A new update based on an idea from a friend of mine. Mont the ballscrew inline with the y-rail, and switch to WBF12 and WBK12 bearings.
This ballscrew is only for thest (wrong length). I`m going to design bearing and bearing/motor mounts to install in the ends on the 9090 profiles
