Most common Z-bed autolevelling sensors are reviewed and tested in the following [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il9bNWn66BY&t=8s), whereby the most simple and precise seem to be the PINDA 8mm inductive sensor from Prusa and the LJ12A3-4-Z/BX inductive sensor.

Inductive sensors are affordable and precise enough for our application and so we will use a 12mm LJ12A3-4-z/BX inductive sensor. This has a 4mm metal detection distance (for ferrous metal like iron) but for non ferrous metals like aluminium this distance can be halved. So the inductive sensor will have to be placed about 2-3mm offset from the nozzle head.
