 The Anycubic I3 Mega enclosure needs to be slightly modified to give some space to the D-sub connectors. For this holes need to be cut in the metal casing. The following file can be helpful here: The Anycubic I3 Mega enclosure needs to be slightly modified to give some space to the D-sub connectors. For this holes need to be cut in the metal casing.

 To start, first unscrew/remove everything which is attached or mounted on the main metal casing. It is better to prevent any metal dust getting onto the circuit board and/or power supply or anything else. When done, for the large cutout, draw with a pencil horizontal and vertical lines on the metal casing, using the position of the press-in nut, which is visible from the outside, like shown on the picture below: To start, first unscrew/remove everything which is attached or mounted on the main metal casing.
