UPDATE:
There are now flat cable extensions available on AliExpress (you will need the one with 15 pins):

This will save you most of the work. However, I haven't personally tested it yet, and I'm not sure if there is enough room for the connectors in the current model or if you can push them into the printer. If you try it, let me know if the adapters need to be adjusted.

I designed an adapter kit that allows the U1’s feeders to be relocated to the back of the printer. No drilling is required, as the original mounting points of the feeders are used for attachment.

This makes it possible to install the printer in a 50 cm PAX cabinet from IKEA or other cabinets of similar dimensions. I use a pull-out shelf for the printer and another pull-out shelf underneath for a Chitu E1 filament dryer, which supplies the filament.

The ribbon cables for the feeders need to be rerout
