Hey all, I recently got my LR4 together in good working order thanks to literal blood sweat and tears, and to all of you for helping me out <3 I was inspired by @Tokoloshe 's French Cleat by Toko and used his drawings to learn basics of CAD so I could resize to fit my plywood’s thickness. The next natural step was to come up with my own designs to FINALLY move all the bullshit off my garage/shop floor and be organized for once lolll
I drew this up in AutoCAD 2024 to fit my Ikea Lagkapten desk, the goal being to get it high up off the floor so I can pull a car in completely when needed. I also had a secondary goal of making it less wobbly than the Ikea adjustable legs I was using before. Both goals were met!
Pro tip for people with AMS Lite: you can make it stop wobbling by jamming a paper towel roll into one of the spools, it acts like a large solid leg for it lol. Temporary until I figure out a way to mount the AMS on a cleat, then I’d have room for another printer or maybe a tiny CNC for engraving 
General notes “for the next guy”:
- It’s not perfect, I’d probably make a couple 1-2 mm “nudges” to fit my cleat better, but it’s plenty good enough as-is to share! Took a couple of hammer taps to get the legs on it, which is exactly how I wanted it to be
- The holes in the sides are meant for 1" EMT (US) 29.5 mm conduit. I have a big stick of it leftover and figured I could shove them through for extra rigidity and as a place to hang things from. I am too lazy to cut mine to size but if I work up the courage to test fit, I’ll update.
- I aligned the legs so they’d both be close to a screw on the cleat, meaning less chance of the cleat flexing. YMMV
- I have a feeling it will be extremely handy to be able to move around a sturdy $30 table/desk anywhere you want: garage locations, laundry room, office as a standing/sitting desk you’d just pick up and set down on a different cleat
- simplified dimensions of the Ikea table, used to create the DXF are: 1000 mm wide x 600 mm deep x 35 mm thick
Cut settings:
- bit: 1/4" 2 flute up cut, 3 mm depth per pass
- material: baltic birch plywood, 12 mm thick
- feeds & speeds: 20 mm/s XY, 10 mm/s Z, 12,000 RPM (Setting #2 on the Makita)
- 75% step over (I think this was just a default, I didn’t even think to check it till now lol)
