- 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


# Toolhead retention

There are 3 versions of retentiom mechanism, this will likely converge as I get more relibility data

## Bottom pin + magnet to toolhead screws.


## Cross Beam: Bottom pin + magnet dropped in the toolhead hole.
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

Stealthburner and mini stealthburner on cross beam uses this approach.
It relies on the bottom pin as the main retention mechanism and the magnet is just to prevent it rattling around.

Drop the magnets on the screw heads in the toolhead. They will stay there on their own, no glue required.

## [Deprecated] Top: Glued magnet

You will need:
- 2x 5x2-3mm round magnets - *make sure you get quality magnets* cheap aliexpress ones are not srong enough
- 2x 5x10 steeel steel rod - use the cutting jig to cut to size
- the screws in toolhead also need to be seel to stick to the magnets

There are no bottom pins on the top mounted docks, so the magnets are doing most of the holding.
The magnets are superglued to the steel rods.

# Cross Beam Frame BOM

Essentially you need to build this. The exact dimensions depend on your printer size.
