UBiQUiTi EdgeRouter LITE Rackmount Adapter

SUMMARY: The AX_RackMountAdapter is a well refined 3D printable design to be used as an interface between, otherwise incompatible, UBiQUiTi EdgeRouter LITE and ER-RMKIT rack mount kit. STORY: I have had my UBiQUiTi EdgeRouter LITE for a while now but always wished to have a robust way of being able to install it onto my server rack. On the UBiQUiTi website I saw this rack mount kit, ER-RMKIT, which was designed for EdgeRouter 4 and EdgeRouter 6P. However, in addition to their mounting holes, both of these routers had bigger dimensions than my EdgeRouter LITE. So, I knew if I purchased the rack mount kit, I would need to design a custom adapter for my router. In the end that’s exactly what I did. I purchased ER-RMKIT from an Amazon vendor for less than $20 shipped. Upon arrival, I started designing an adapter around my router by transferring measurements from both the rack mount kit and the router. For stability, tight tolerances and minimalistic surface features were important. IMPLEMANTATION: ER-RMKIT rack mount kit should include necessary 8 screws to install the router to the kit. My box also included 4 cage nuts and screws for rack mounting. If you are unsure about your rack compatibility, please do your own research first. Finally, you need to provide two (2) M3x5mm (pan head or computer) screws and two (2) M3 nuts. I put some brief notes to the pictures on this page and chronologically organized the pictures in sync with the installation process. As a result, I assume that the installation process should be pretty straight forward for everyone. Enjoy!
