Move flat ribbon connector

Description
I have my eye on an ex-demo chineese laser but have no way to check if it has a flat cable to the one stepper and home sensors.
However I am interested in adding in a Z azis motor and if I get ambitioous I would consider a rotay axis as well.
Having the flat cable under the rotary/extruder stepper driver looks like it might be a bit of a limitation.
I wonder if the flat cable connector would have room just a bit further inboard so it is outside the 4th axis driver footprint.

There will always be situations where you have to improvise. There's plenty of ways to that with this board. In your specific case: not using the flat ribbon connector but making a small extension-board that brings endstops and X-axis to a ribbon cable will do the trick.
