you mean the connectors? ( they are not set in yet, hence no heat shrink yet. But will do that). If so than: because of the cable. If i had the connenctors vertically they would still need some space between them horizontally so that the cables won’t touch
sure but looks neater - just look at longhairedboy and whitepony’s builds http://esk8content.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/db2454/original/3X/f/2/f24d76b39c8f7864c190138eabc56dffd79a8e44.jpeg
No CNC Milling 
i’am trying an every-day-tools approach on this project.
whitepony does not have a cnc mill. you don’t need channels with the flat wire - just need to bend it so that it does not touch. But you have already drilled the holes so there is no point in this anyway.
i see your point… thanks, and you are right…i am a bit late since i already done the holes.
Source doesnt sell it anymore. Anyone else know where else to get it in EU?
