What i like most about this project is the stepper drivers on flatcables

Pololu was ok, but this is far more practical, and opens up space to make better cooled stepper drivers on less cramped space.

I think that boards like Megatronics and RAMPS shoud add an 8 pin header to make this option a new standard. And eventually even skip this step and move towards SPI controlled steppers. And eventually SPI to Step/Dir/Enable converter boards to keep all options open.
