What should I buy for upgrades heads since I've had my first catastrophic failure on two printers (Ender 5 Max)

Main question; what should I upgrade the print head with now that it is toast...

Something went catastrophically wrong... both printer beds for no reason that I know of lifted up into the printer heads... one's total and I think the other one's jacked, because it's shaking. I was already i'm cutting it thin due setbacks. All I needed were my shoulders and the chest... the three largest pieces. I'm beside myself right now...

I think this is why all weekend this print was failing; I didn't know it was going back up... I just thought it was catching supports, but if I had let it go longer this would have happened. But this slice had been done a dozen different times. One printer may be still ok. The other ordering new parts, hopefully I can recover...

The CAUSE: I think it is a floating support somehow invisible inside the model through a non-manifold geometry error that I couldn't detect after cutting holes for led lights. I think the error would happen regardless of the support showing up.

Direct drive spool mount for top to print tpu 85a?

I'm wanting to do tpu 85a and find that skipping the boden tube is a necessity to prevent stretching which lowers the extruding diameter; however I'm struggling to find an STL. My searches keep hitting Ender 5, but max just doesn't come up. I've also tried searching here for any mention of top mounting and direct drive setups and am getting no hits.

Any help? I'm about to have to take another stl and do some dirty stuff with primitives and boolean to make my own out of someone elses...
