Netgear GS108 8-Port Switch Wall Mount

thingiverse

I wanted to free up some desk space by getting a Netgear GS108 8-Port Switch off my desk. The routing of the Ethernet cables on the desk was awkward, and the easiest, though not most convenient, way was to turn the switch with the ports facing the wall (the Ethernet cables came up from below and between the wall and desk. So I designed a wall mount for this switch so the ports faced up and were easily accessible. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 1 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 30% Notes: I printed this bracket with PLA. For better bed adhesion, I print the first layer at 85% height and 60% speed and include a single layer skirt of 5 outlines. I turned on the heated build platform to 60° C. My extruder temperature is 195° C. Post-Printing Cleaning away the skirt With a sharp knife, I cut away the 5-outline skirt around the mount. Attaching the wall mount bracket I mounted my bracket to drywall, so I used (2) E-Z Ancor Twist and Lock Self-Drilling Drywall Anchors (found at any home improvement store). How I Designed This Our friend, the calipers I pulled out my trusty calipers and measured the width, length and height of the switch, rounding to the nearest millimeter and then adding an addition millimeter for good measure. SketchUp With measurements in hand, I quickly sketched the bracket.
