Unifi UAP-AC-LITE Outdoor Enclosure

thingiverse

This is a semi-waterproof enclosure for the UAP-AC-LITE. Note that the above statement says semi; it is watertight, but I don't want anyone to assume they can mount it in their pool. Mine will be mounted in a cool area; I would not recommend printing this in PLA and placing it anywhere that sees more than a moderate temperature, definitely not in direct sunlight. If you need to go that route, experiment with it in PETG or ABS. I have included the Fusion 360 files if you want to mod the unit. There are two lids: - One is completely airtight, - The other one takes an M12 screw-in vent to balance internal and external temp without letting water in. I have included a PDF spec sheet. I made this with easy/universal parts: 4 x Short 3mm screws 8 x M3 (3mm) x 50mm screws 8 x M3 bolts 8 x M3 Washers All the holes for screws are 3mm so that you can use 3mm bolts or 3mm screws. I prefer bolts. You'll want to use washers and M3 x 50mm minimum bolts: Example: http://jkm.co.za/viewTechInfo.php?id=1140145003050 The seal between the base and the lid is a standard silicone tube, 5mm, precisely the same as the air hose tube used for fish tank air pumps. You can get it at any pet store, most hardware stores. You'll want to leave a snug gap for the ethernet cable.

When I replace with the vented version I will upload pics. I checked in on the unit after we had some heavy downpours am warm days. It was totally perfect, completely dry inside.
