Description
Simple horizontal (preferred orientation for the stronger signal coverage) stand for a Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC Pro. Bonus: reminiscent of a pizza saver (pizza table). No screws or glue required.
I designed this to lift my access point off of the switch that sits below it, and allow more air to flow. As I looked at other designs they either had a large amount of wasted filament required for supports, or required a vertical orientation. This takes ~7 grams of filament and just 45 minutes to print.
Vertical orientation is nice to save space, but actually affects the signal strength as these access points produce a donut shape (see the image here). Given I couldn't mount it to my ceiling (rental apartment), I chose this as the next best option.
Printer Brand: Prusa
Printer: I3 MK3S
Rafts: No
Supports: No
Resolution: 0.3mm
Infill: 20%
Filament: Giantarm PLA White
Notes:
This was designed such that supports aren't needed. It looks a bit precarious, but printed fine for me 🤷♂️
If you have adhesion issues, it may be worth noting I printed this on the satin steel sheet (which is an absolute dream regardless of print).
Designed in Fusion 360 after borrowing the general spacing from another design (triangle of screw holes on the provided backplate are 100mm apart from center point to center point of the screw holes).
I actually designed a mount to attach this to as well, intended to glue the two pieces together and screw the print to the back of the device. If this is something anyone wants, just ask, but it works as is without the extra material for me.
