3d printer tool head pcb

This is a work in progress and subject to change.

the problem

I really dislike most wiring solutions around 3d printer tool heads. I have tried connectors, pcb boards, and direct wiring harnesses. Each of these solutions has some advantages and disadvantages

learning to design pcb boards

Fortunately for me this design is very straight forward. I am going to dive in and mess it up a few times to learn.
