The dock comes in 3 versions - cross beam mounted, top mounted or on rails.
| Top mounted | Cross beam | Liftbar |
|---|---|---|
| * Can be installed in existing frame * Good clearance |
* Supports Full sized Stealthburner * Extra docking latch |
* Complex to build * Best clearance * Slightly faster changes * Can install on Trident |

- High temp silicone for the nozzle pad
- 35 mm of 7x0.1mm springsteel, salvageable from 1m tape measure.
- some M3 screws and heatset inserts
- retnetion hardware - see below
There are 2 versions of retentiom mechanism, this will likely converge as I get more relibility data
Dragon burner uses this method. The toolhead hooks on to the M3 scew heads. Just need 2x m3x10 butthonhead screws.
Stealthburner and mini stelathburner on cross beam uses this approach. It relies on a bottom pin as the main retention mechanism and the magnet is just to prevent it rattling around.
You will need:
- 2x 5x2mm round magnets
- 2x m3 x 10 steeel screws in the dock - steel (magnetic)
- the screws in toolhead also need to be seel to stick to the magnets
Drop the magnets on the screw heads in the toolhead. They will stay there on their own, no glue required.
Essentially you need to build this. The exact dimensions depend on your printer size.
Print the nozzle pad mold. Put on some mold release, just rubbing with a birthday candle works well.
Cut a 35mm piece of springsteel and mold the silicone pad on one end. The mount is designed to accomodate fror the springteel curve, place it so that it curves downwards.
