General tips

Insert magnets on a flat hard surface while the device is not assembled.

Cyanoacrylate (superglue) works nice for magnets.

If you experience bad tracking, you can always try to print some spacers to fix it for your particular ball.

57-68 mm ball (or 50-60 mm with spacers installed)

50-55 mm ball

If you use CY-8H Aliexpress BTUs, it is recommended to go with the 50-52.4mm version instead.
You can ignore the fact that it is deprecated in such a case.
That version (in combination with this BTUs) should work with a 55 mm ball too.

55mm ball

50-55 mm ball (short version)

Fits a 50-55 mm ball. In this mod, the bottom and top parts of the original Adept case have been modified.

55mm short top 55mm short side

You can find the 3MF files for Bambu printers on Makerworld.
