I've added this to the opening of Section 6:
"Note: Under no circumstances should you route the wires for the extruder down the same channel as any of the end-stop switch wires. Do. Not. EVER. The power flowing through the stepper motor wires will cause false triggering of the end-stop electronics."

I didn't show how to route the wiring down the /outside/ of the tower for my health.

Dang. I just did this. Took me two days to figure out what was wrong - belt tightness? Nope. Skate wheels? Nope. Levelled platform, many times. Nope. STILL F'N LEANING. Found this thread. E Motor wire was running parallel to one of the end stop cables (part of a new rewire). Tore it out and routed it differently and now it's all gravy.
