FWIW I made mine by using small, round bar magnets (ca. 6 x 15 mm) and reed switch capsules. I milled out small (25mm) pieces of 10 x 10mm aluminium and epoxied the switches and magnets each in one. These, I glued to the machine with cyanoacrylate such they slide past each another horizontally, with a small gap (no contact at all) . I haven't measured the repeatability but it seems pretty good and they are cheap and sealed against junk getting in.
