I also made a spreader plate for the tripod of my telescope.
This allows me to carry out a variety of eyepieces while I’m using it, and also have places for lenscaps, pencils, and other odds and ends.

Very functional and convenient!
Cool you got the router working, at least in 2d!
I’ve been giving the router some servicing and tune-ups this week, too.
The “cable chain” on the X-axis was built too short, preventing the head from moving all the way across the gantry. It was odd, because the lead-screw and the linear rails are long enough for full travel, but the cable was made too short. Then I realized why the guy did what he did, because the cable chain would hit the X-axis drive motor if it went too far.
While figuring that out, I also found a solution, made a new bracket to secure the cable chain to another part of the carriage, and it works now.
I can now claim this router table has 50 inches of travel, instead of 47".
