Here's my take on the bottom C-axis
this uses msc-22-0410a for 10 Amp, 4 wire slip ring setup so it can safely house a DC bed(220mm Mk3 Delta Kossel round bed) and a heat sensor to go with it.
as well as the above, the major changes include the bearing changed to mh-p16, a ball bearing with a angular chamfer, used in bicycle handle necks. I have opted to chose this, pretty pricy bearing over the original design's wider, flat ball bearings because of the chamfer, the print will self-allign with the bolt pressuring the inputs.
on the above view, the yellow part is the afformentioned mh-p16.
The plate mount utilizes a common replacement part for adjusting bed allignment, though idk if will be useful or not, seems like its gonna be a hassle
the gt2 pulley part of the plate mount utlizes the same 2gt 160t 6mm size pulley mostly because i had no antics and thought it would be fine
on the center, it is comprised of 4 different parts- the safety plug(or the cap), center shaft, bearing pedestal and the base itself

the former 3 are self explanatory- its designed to be just straight plugged with a M4(least 40mm, haven't tested) bolt all the way through to prevent allignment issues and have a strong grip on the bearings
the base is held on the 2020 extrusion by 4 M4 screw holes that would connect into a m4 nut. also haven't really done a good job of designing this so the top bolt is only accessible before you install the top 3/plate mount, so will probably used more as a guide rod than a proper join
the sideways nut i have left some room to manuver, but the area is pretty small so might have to change the design(make the hole all the way to the other side, weakening structual integrity but ease of maintainence
