I did design it with a flat bottom to start with but struggled with the wiring. Are you using the V2 bottom as a comparison? Thanks,

Thanks,Yes the comparison is only using the v2 Base. I was thinking a bit about how we could make a flat bottom. Couple options:1 - Simply drop all the wire routing down under the flat bottom. This will make the entire tile a little thicker.1.1 - In order to keep the thickness down, would a different smaller connector be better? Something like this maybe? https://www.amazon.com/HKBAYI-50Pair-50sets-Connector-WS2812B/dp/B00NBSH4CA2 - Instead of hiding the wiring under the tile, would it be possible to keep it all inside around the edges?
I have been looking at this problem as well. I think your proposed solution 1 or 2 is the best option. The connectors in 1.1 are actually larger than the servo connectors because of the latch. This would also make separating the tiles difficult. For option 1, the tiles are a little thinner than the power module, I suspect if you increase the height to be the same you could find enough space underneath to run the wires.I am going to initially try option 2 as it means not having to print a new bottom tile.
Have you guys look at this https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/nanoleaf-aurora-teardown/It looks they are using a flat backplane with 6 leds (or 12 if you count the white ones also) instead of 1..Perhaps thats the solution?
