You'll need: firmware update/change to Marlin to enable Auto-leveling. (Markerfarm uses Marlin) printed bracket inductive sensor like these:

In Marlin's config.h you will need to enable the Autoleveling features. It might make more sense to download the newest Marlin and reconfigure it. Makerfarm does not currently host Marlin versions that have auto-leveling enable-able.

You'll replace the z-end stop with the sensor which will sense a piece of foil tape on the bed. Marlin's auto-leveling supports the sensing of multiple level points. This mod only uses 4.
