What a brilliant idea. Well, the only downside is that in case of fail switching, we will have a lot of bearing balls to pickup. Guess we will find a way through.
Dope! Is it magnetically held at the top? I mean gravity would hold the tool head on, but what’s stiffing it up to resist upward pressure from parts, nozzle crashes?
It needs Z movement between the toolhead and the dock. Not really possible, unless you add a dedicated stepper for that. Maybe checkout WP-DAKSH if you are on a Trident. Or there was another project with a sliding lock, but can't remember the name.

I love this - such a great idea!
I love the concept. I wonder if there's a way to add a second MGN9 rail to the toolchanged part holder instead of the plastic bit with magnets?
really cool concept! it is risky though, one missalligned toolchange and you might damage the carriage or loose a bearing ball.. Any Ideas on that?
How about using igus t slot rails/slides. No balls to loose, also significantly lower weight
oh that's nice, much smaller dock too

good idea!

Magnets, it's the Voron Tap mechanism
I’m guessing it won’t be easy to implement this on the Trident
