-===== Distribution circuit board ===== +===== Antclaps BLTouch retrofit guide ===== 
-The external connections of the 3d-printer are neither very robust, nor do they offer much flexibility in respect to upgrading/changing the printer. From the original distribution circuit board a new board was designed which has both the original and D-sub connectors.+Antclaps BLTouch retrofit guide and configuration information

-The new circuit board consists of two partswhich can be separated with a so-called mouse-bite. The small circuit board is meant to be located at the other side of the printer. With this the wiring underneath the printer for the X-stepper and Z-stepper-L can be tidied up and organized much better.+===== Replacing the ATMEGA2560 =====
