Aruba Access Point Mounting Bracket

thingiverse

I drew and modeled this up from scratch in Fusion360. A friend of mine had an "Aruba IAP-205-US Wireless Network Access Point 802.11ac" and wanted to cleanly mount it to a wall or the ceiling. This mount could be used on any flat surface. The attaching screws go through the face of the mount to attach it to the flat surface, and then the Access Point is twisted into place on this mount. Update: December 11, 2019; Added new STL file: "Main Body Rev2.STL". This design has more support/plastic so that it will be more resistant to heat when the router is installed in the horizontal plane. This bracket version locks in place very securely and takes quite a bit of force the first time it is fit to the router. This design should work fine when printed in PLA. Also noteworthy, I am leaving the lightweight first version up ("Main Body.STL") because it has proven to withstand the thermal load of the router if it is printed in PetG; whereas PLA does not work over time with this design because it will deform due to the heat. Update: September 1, 2019; If the old bracket is mounted in a horizontal plane, the insane heat generated by the Aruba deforms it over time. A new version is coming out which is less susceptible to thermal deformation. It's a two piece design to make it easy to print. There is a main mount and the centering pin. The centering pin may have to be glued, but the one I printed did not. If you find this useful, feel free to buy me a cup of coffee or help fund some more plastic for the next project. https://paypal.me/vivap2p Or, cut and paste "PayPal.Me/vivap2p" into a browser to donate.
