hey Thorp,
in my design revisions up until now, the clamping force was my biggest issue. like i mentioned above, i had started with magnetic ball bearings and also tried magnetic ball bearings w/ additional magnets situated beneath the dowel pins. my hotend tended to pop out of the coupling during prints (especially during fast moves) until i switched to using 6 total magnets in my current setup. i would love to have the positioning and clamping components together, but i was never able to get it to work. please let me know if you have better success!
