Remoddeled the Prusa provided thimble for the INDX tool dock to use a 5x8,47mm magnet which comes with the dock hardware kit from Bondtech. Prusa/Bondtech used a 7x8mm magnet in the thimble for the FE edition of INDX (as well as the Prusa version I assume, as the model is from Prusa's partlist).

I tested calibration and tool changes and got no issue with the smaller sized magnet.
Also tested out of spec springs for this (regarding the wire diameter/spring strength). No issues. 

I used those:

but you can probably get away with standard 5x8mm from China as well

Bondtech kit - Be aware, you can only use the magnets from this for Prusa/FE INDX, the spring and screw are the wrong size for the Core One.
