I tried to install 3D Touch, a clone of BLTouch, on my 4Max but it failed, so I created one using a capacitive sensor. An inductive sensor wouldn't work because the Ultrabase is made of glass. The glass is messy due to the glue used for adhesion. I think $15 for an ABL function on a $300 printer is incredible. You need to install a pull-up resistor as shown in the schematic here. You can use my firmware configuration and try it out if it works with your system. My video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAz07Jl_bgg&feature=youtu.be. Choose between the stock stepper driver version or another like TMC2208 or others. The firmware repository is located at https://github.com/dplane/Anycubic-4MAX-Firmware. For further instructions, watch Tom's video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcGFLwj0pnA. If you want to buy the same sensor I used, it's the LJC12A3-5-Z/BX.
