How to assemble the tool plate for the fully 3D printed magswitch toolchanger for ratrig vcore 3. Passively actuated, based on a similar layout to axial flux motors, hence the name. Uses 6 magnets on the toolhead and 6 on the x carriage.

I like it! I use mag switches for holding woodworking accessories but never thought of using them in 3D printing. It looks like there is a limit of 2 tool heads or am I missing something?

Nope there is can be more, only limit is space in the printer

Can have as many as will fit. But need to design some more docks to mount to extrusions at different angles. I am planning add a vertical bar in the front centre hanging down from the top frame to mount two centre docks. Another option is to design docks that mount to the horizontal bar at the back and install the X-carraige backwards. I did that first, but I wasn't having fun working on docks and tools at the back of the printer.
