Yes, it's very old school, I gave up in the end, couldn't get enough juice through the stepper driver to move that bed back and forth, I've got more short videos to upload though so don't tell anyone ;)
@@chuck2501 Yeah did all that kind of thing, the stock board could just about move it but when I swapped to a modern board there just wasn't enough power to drag that bed, you could barely move it by hand with the steppers disabled. Even then I had to spin the lead screw.
The bed is on a lead screw! I've never seen that before!
