Oh i'm blushing so hard to see my design here!
the idea of using block magnets like that on the other side too (instead of balls) is honestly clever too no idea why i didn't think of that it will save space and have more "suction". tho I worry it'll cause some alignment issues :?

btw for a direct drive tool I suggest a middle ring magnet.

the ball/block design I had did handle the weight but it'd fly off at high speeds. but with an additional magnet it'd be very very very secure! but if something hits the tool there's always the possibility it'd get lose, for that I can suggest you to add a mechanical switch to detect an attached tool and stop and warn you!

Oh and don't be discouraged by others xD I had really no issues with mine. yes in theory a lot can go wrong but in practice it works very well for common use!

also if you want you can use the same motor for many tools but changing one of the couplings for a gear the extruder will go into or just using magnets to spin the other side (kinda hard tho. needs a special magnet too unless you make your own out of 2)

@joergs5 said in CoreXE, will it work? Any thoughts? is it even worth it.:

this isn't cartesian, the X axis moves when you move y.... Woops! YEAH i don't think this is a good idea anymore as somebody would have to make the code for it! and i'm not good enough at math/coding to do this myself yet!

There are new possibilites to configure those x-y movements (by defining a matrix which defines how they are connected)*), so no new kinematics are needed. E could be used as normal axis, but the problem with E is, E uses special things like pressure advance, which are not included in the code for "normal" axes.

yeah honestly after having that realization i realized, this isn't worth it, i'm going for plain markforged, 70g isn't worth the effort!
