+1. The size is ridiculous. Production costs could be decreased and/or yield increased with a more compact design unless there's some unseen design limitation that requires such a big board. I'm not ashamed of my electronics and don't mind showing them off, but I don't want them to be the focal point. Plus wiring is going to be all over the place with that layout.Quote

I think your marketing division needs to be shot!
The shape makes it dumb and unusable.
Stay tuned - we are working on that issue!

Other weird things is 10 end stop connections, but only 3 PWM outputs. Go hog wild (or should that be beef wild) with the stops most people at least in the RepRap community will never use or need but have just a single fan (or some other lower power device) seems backwards. I much rather have 5 or 6 end stops and 5 or 6 PWM outputs to control extra fans, maybe some LEDs for lighting, etc.
The endstops and encoders are directly handled by the motion drivers - so it is merely just breaking out some pins to connectors. On the other hand we are discussing to add another mid power PWM channel …
Thanks for the feedback
