 The new circuit board fits at the original location. The breaking-off circuit board (using so-called mouse-bites) is meant to be located at the other side of the printer and provides connections for the X-stepper, Z-stepper-Left and accordingly endswitches. The new circuit board fits at the original location.

 +The most important connection point for ground is realized using a [[https://www.we-online.com/katalog/datasheet/7461096.pdf|Würth REDCUBE PRESS-FIT T-Block]] (Art. Nr. 7461096), which has M4 thread and can be used to establish a connection with very low impedance. No negative or ground wire shall be routed directly between the power supply and the controller circuit board. Instead, all these wires need first to go the T-Block and from there to the controller.
