Ubiquiti UniFi UA-G2 / UA-G3 Reader Table Stand

Table Stand for UniFi Access G2/G3 Readers:

Finally a way to have a tabletop reader for adding cards to UniFi access. No more readers strewn across your desk.

The Idea:

Make a table-top stand, based around the existing aluminium bracket.

The Implementation:

I took the mount from @GabeOdachows_1241768 and imported it into Tinkercad.
From here, I added a slight rotation, a cylinder and a base - nice and simple!

Printing:

I printed the design in PETG, but PLA will probably work for most applications.

I chose to add a couple of height ranges so I could vary the infill, as you only really need it in the base and sections with screws.

15% infill between 0-40mm and between 85-112mm. Everything else was 5%. All Gyroid.

Natural supports are required, on build plate only.

Installation

Requirements:

• Printed stand

• UA-G2/UA-G3 Reader Aluminium mount (part “C” on product installation guide).

• 3x M2.6 mounting screws (part "E" on product installation guide). 

Things to consider before installing:

• The aluminium plate is very easy to break if you apply too much force when mounting it. The mount has plenty of room, but just be careful!

Fitting the mount to the faceplate:

1. Run your Ethernet cable through the stand and mount and plug it into the reader. Don't fit the reader to the mount yet.

2. Hold the mount in position through the stand.

3. Secure with M2.6 machine screws.

4. Feed the cable through the stand, and click the reader into place.

Improvements for a 2nd Revision:

Separate parts

In hindsight, it would have been better to print this in pieces and glue them together afterwards (Certainly for print time).

I've made an experimental version, which is uploaded into a separate folder. Be warned, I've not tested it!
