Very good idea MattMoses, I like it. This sounds like something I can try too. I have one output leftover on my Lasercutter that I built, I might put it on the heated bed output. Solenoids are fun!

I am refering arduino mega and RAMPS1.4 shield but i dont need that much port so want to reduce it for 2motors and one 12Vsolenoid(electromagnet)

*as per my study i can use Fan port of arduino Mega (D9) to control solenoid but i am confused about how can i make it happen with arduino Uno board.
1)how can i reduce marlin firmware?
2)In Marlin firmware for Atmega328 no Fan port is mentioned.what should i do?
