Celestron CGX is a great mount, I love it. But there a few tiny details, which can be annoying over time.
For instance, only 2 two AUX ports are not enough for many Celestron accessories (Hand Controller, WIFI Skyportal, StartSense, GPS Module...). A RJ Splitter may be needed to overcome that.
RJ connectors direction causes Skyportal WIFI dongle to stick up in the air like a dogs tail.
Holding accessories on the tripod can be tidious with respect to cables length.
A telescope and its accessories requires often many 12V output.

In order to improve this, without worsening cable management, one can use the place under the mount. The stl File can be modified to make a RJ splitter, 12V hub, GPS holder...
