Tnx @pixel3design-hub Do you know any documention on this topc ?

there are plenty of projects on how to do that. The best I found is about a Piezoelectric sensor. The drawback of nozzle touch sensor (electrically speaking) is that plastic can isolate the electric contact between nozzle and aluminium bed plate. If this occours the nozzle will crash hardly on the bed and may damage it. Inductive sensors are better and more reliables and easy to install. Piezo are good but suffers of lot of false reads... It's your choice. Let me know. Cheers.
