I have got an idea for the cable mess and limitations of the reprap controllers.
Why not connect all sensors, stepper motors and heaters on a bus instead of routing different cables to all of them?
Check out my idea here:

(I am sure that a system like this it already exists, i just haven't found it yet
)

This might also be a way to connect everything to a Raspberry PI...
Sorry about my bad english, but i guess it's better than your swedish!
