Mount for Ubiquiti U6+

I took the opportunity over the weekend to combine two great designs and create something for my own use. As I don’t want to drill holes in the ceiling or in wood, as we only rent this place, I had to come up with something else

I don’t want my new U6+ access points hanging on the cable down the ceiling. It doesn’t look great, and I don’t want the cable to break. I was looking around on 3D printer websites and found a Wall Mount for UbiquitiU6+.

This was ideal, as I could add a small hook to it to hang it over the wooden board instead of attaching it directly to the board. I adapted the wall mount from the ‘Mount an Ubiquiti U6 Lite AP to a pillar’ model, which had all the other parts I needed to print.

After some tinkering in Tinkercad, I came up with this solution:

Putting it into the slicer with some support, the print should be fine:

And yes, it came out nicely. All that was left to do, was to print the three other parts from the original model; the screw and access point holder.

I printed everything in light gray plastic instead of white, as I still had some light gray that I had lying around. It came out nicely and looks good. Needed some sanding here and there, especially the screwing part of the holder, but the rest was an almost perfect tight fit.

And this is how it looks:

The image shows a close-up view of a white wall-mounted cable holder or bracket installed on a ceiling or under a surface. A labeled 'PATCH CABLE' runs through the mount, which appears to have a circular design with a slot for securing the cable. The mount is neatly affixed, and the setup suggests it is part of a networking or electrical cable management system. The background is a white wall with minimal visible details. The image shows a wall-mounted bracket or arm with a circular support structure. The mount is light gray and appears to be designed for holding or securing a device or fitting, potentially part of a networking or cable management setup. A labeled 'PATCH CABLE' is visible, running through the bracket and exiting downward. The bracket is securely affixed to the wall, with screws visible on the backplate, and the overall design suggests an organized and functional installation in an IT or electrical environment. The background includes a white wall and ceiling corner, with minimal additional details. Close-up of a networking device mount with a threaded connector and Ethernet port. The device is white with a circular base and features a yellow clip near the top. Background shows wooden paneling and networking cables.

P.S.: The small yellow piece is a security bolt designed to prevent accidental rotation of the access point, which could cause it to fall.
