-==== Mega Hub PCB v2 ====+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:

 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). Following up the changes from the [[projects:3dprinting:anycubic_i3_mega:redesign_hub_pcb|second version]], further changes and simplifications were made.
