PRZ
For non contact sensors, M18 is the most common diameter, however, it is easy to find inductive in 12mm diameter at low cost.
For much higher cost, it also exists 8mm diameter sensors. Capacitive sensors, however, are more difficult to find in 12 mm diameter, but they exist in flat package.
Inductive sensor, direct from china, 2.3 GBP, postage paid ... That may take some time, however...

Capacitive sensor, in a flat package, more difficult to install, but compact, 3.44 GBP, postage paid :

... and we may be able to reduce the wiring to the top anyway...

You could use a common wire for heater +ve and hot end fan +ve. With care over routing, you could use a common ground side wire for the 3 endstop switches. Beyond that, I've long held the belief that it makes sense to do the heater and hot end fan control on a small board on the hot end itself, especially for multiple nozzle systems - although in the absence of a Z probe mounted on the hot end, this would give little or no saving in the number of wires on a single nozzle system.

I understand PRZ. I am building a Kossel XL by replicating what a friend is doing, and the results he gets are ok bit not what we both expected. Most design we see and try are not very stable and a crash on a Kossel can be very very catastrophic.

The fisher is small, but seems rather robust in its frame and it makes very attractive. Even I am considering taking a beta one and see how it evolves. If only I could find a spot in the house,

PS: looks like you are using the very same design. Most defects came out for us after a month of intense use (for some work stuff) at my friend pkace. In fact we are bulding two to try and play around with both at different times.

Btw what profiles you use (I think you mentioned already) as our problem could be using the open beams that are lighter than we anticipated.

I use Motadis 2020 for the verticals, 2060 for 2 of the base horizontals, and 2020 for the remaining 5 horizontals. I am using the I-profile, although it wasn't the best choice because it doesn't fit the Robotdigg aluminium corners unless the slots are widened a little.
