Biggest issue I can see with this way of levelling is that the tip of the nozzle might not be completely clean, or have some solidified plastic on it.
This can cause two errors.
1) you will not make electric contact
2) you will have different heights measured depending on how much plastic is stuck to the nozzle.
Hope you have a solution for that.

Well.. I was thinking at a typical m3/m4 screw with a flat head. I'm not sure that you need precision length as you will measure it when assembling the probe.

Hmmm just a stupid question ... I think I may be mistaken again but ...do you need the spring ?
Wouldn't it be possible to use a thin aluminium foil on (attached on the stubs so it get dragged around) connected to the netagive side, then when the probe goes to the ground it stops when touching the foil (contact detected) ?

There is this one too :

I think the aluminum can (or even a kitchen foil) could be usefull. The only think I'll be carefull is that for can, the paint could be non-conductive. As a first try, I would better suggest to go for aluminium foil (from the kitchen)

I really like the design for the hotend. I'm not sure that It'll be really usefull for the Xmin/Ymin but ...why not. I guess people d'ont really like having circuit open in their printer
Wouldn't it be possible to have a second thin strip running parallel to the bottom of the printed part ? Positionned so that the tip is touching it. The idea would be that when the hotend approach the bed, it closes the gap between the hanging strip and the parralel one. The circuit will be conectd to the two strips (removing the need to attach a wire to the hotend.
I totaly think the magnet to hold the pole are a good idea !
