dumb question but does this only detect proximity of metal or magnetic device or would it detect a human finger being used as no-touch switch?

Metal only. It does detect any metal however.

It is sealed and stainless so it is very water resistant. It's not made to be submersed in water, though it could last for a time underwater. The sensor can take a light stream of water, but would likely fail under high pressure washdown over time.

How sensitive is this switch to aluminum? 4mm? 2mm? Thanks

Distance or thickness of material? I was able to trip it with a small aluminum tube but it had to make physical contact with the center of the switch.

it is assumed sensor has voltage applied; is sensor closed then opens when tripped?

Depends on if it a normally open or normally closed sensor.

works on my 3D printer

using it as a Z probe on my ender 3. the description says "6v-36v" but it works fine off 5v.according to the deviation test this probe has 0.001mm deviation

Not as advertised.

This ships as a single unit not 2 as described. It is also a NO switch not NC as shown in the descriptiom

Worked well in my application.

Worked well for my application. I'm using small pieces of brass so the 4MM range is shortened.

Works great

Used on a DIY annealer machine. Exactly what I needed. Comes with 2 sensors in the pack (I didn't realize this until it arrived...guess I should have read the description better).

Susceptible to noise

Using for CNC end stops but they constantly trigger. An RC filter or twisted and shielded wire is absolutely required.
