 The improvements are mainly that the connections for the X, Z (right) and E0-steppers (filament) were placed on the right side, making a single cable chain with all necessary wires for the steppers easier to realize. The improvements are mainly that the connections for the X, Z (right) and E0-steppers (filament) were placed on the right side, making a single cable chain with all necessary wires for the steppers easier to realize.

 +Following up the changes from the [[projects:3dprinting:anycubic_i3_mega:redesign_hub_pcb|second version]], further changes and simplifications were made. Most important were to leave out the 3 original red/blue/green connectors and only use D-sub connectors. Also a redundant X-stepper D-sub connection, one on the left and one on the right side, was made. This makes it possible to connect the stepper motor for the X-axis either from the left side (when using a dedicated cable chain), or from the right side (using the standard wiring).
