Now you got me thinking, I was planning on expanding the y-axis out and turning the print bed 90 degrees and having the sticker on the underside. Now I'm thinking I might be able to model that up in sketch up and print it up as a z-spreader/support with the z-rods in the wrench ends...hmmmm ideas ideasQuote

I better find a way to put that sticker somewhere in my machine.
Maybe I will 3d print it and put it in the support between the two z-rods

Looks good.
Are you looking at the same picture I am? Its a mess lol It will come around in time, now that I have a feel for whats going on and what I "need" etc.
In all seriousness, thank you! There will be many more changes down the line.

Yes its definitely an old PSU, I had added some led's to the 5v rail in hopes it would alleviate the problem, but I was not so lucky. I think today Will try powering the Arduino off it and see if that is enough draw to keep it alive. Going to need to do that anyway if I want to upgrade to a stand-alone at some point.

Using the old power supplies we use to add a load resistor between the green wire and a black one, that held the power supply in the "on mode"
You should be able to do it by connecting the green wire from the power supply to the pin on the RAMPS that does the automatic turn on and off.
That pin is next to the reset button, the closest on the left when the reset button is facing you.

Good that direct drive is working for you.
I wonder how powerful a taller motor is compared to a shorter one. Maybe enough to not need a geared extruder.

I can't even begin to describe how happy this makes me...
I'll pick up hardware tomorrow I think. I have a belt that I scavenged from an old scanner, but I don't have a drive gear, does anyone know where to find a printable one? I have searched and printed a few but nothing is matching up right.

Where are my manners? Thank you Regpye for the link on the gear generators, I did end up going another route as my belt was just not going to work. So I made a few modifications to parts I had in hand and am evolving to a rack and pinion drive, at least for now.
Have to really re-arrange everything to accommodate the wider Y plate, so hopefully I will have it back up and running in the next day or two. Looks like I will have to really button down my wires this go round, I have been meaning to do that anyway so why not just get it done.
