    Look at the drawing closer and then look at the pin out of your endstop

    I have a 600 watt one and only supplies a max of 12 amps on the 12 volt rail.
    Normally that is a combined wattage of all the outputs which includes the 3.3 and the 5 volt rail. Most of those MK2 heatbeds can draw up to 16 amps, which the xbox 360 power supply can deliver, but, all other electronics are powered off of a separate power supply.

    Has anyone here tried printing ninjaflex through the wades extruder. I want to try it but might try semi flex instead so flexable but not as much.
