Hmmmm, but seeing as how microswitches can give "very reproducible results" is it possible to compensate for the "amount of head movement needed to trigger them" with the design/code?

I saw a video review of a commercial printer a while ago, too bad I can't remember which, that used electrical contact between the nozzle and 4 washers used to hold the bed corners.
To ensure the nozzle was clean the printed swiped it across some kind of brush coupled to the edge of the print bed.
Seems like a nice solution.

It is true that most proximity sensor are not designed to give reproducible trigger distances, but just to detect whether something is there or not. But I designed my IR height sensor to support accurate positioning. That is why it uses two IR beams instead of just one as in ordinary IR proximity sensors.
In practice, microswitches can give very reproducible results. What I don't like about them when used as head contact sensors is the amount of head movement needed to trigger them.
