Asus RT-AC68U Wall mount bracket (REMIX) with 80mm fans

thingiverse

This is a Work in Progress. This is a remix of the Asus RT-AC68U Wall mount bracket by ldymanow. Since his STL files cannot be modified with my CAD program due to their format, I had to rely on the dimensions he provided - which were just as crucial. Everything else was designed from scratch, so it's uncertain whether this version will fit the same. This updated design includes holes for two 80mm fans and a French cleat style wall mount. I plan to pair these USB PWM fans with: https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-MULTIFAN-Receiver-Playstation/dp/B00IJ2J2K0/ A STEP file is included for easy remixing. This project has not been tested or printed yet, and updates will be provided when it happens. The files are not oriented for printing. One thing I discovered the hard way: a noisy device on the network can drive the CPU temperatures of an Asus RT-68U through the roof (see the pic). Although the router seemed to withstand it, removing the noisy device solved the issue. Adding VLAN switches proved to be the fix in the end. Update - after buying a new router on PrimeDay, printing this project has been pushed back to the farthest burner and may never happen if I won't be using this router. However, I'll keep this design up for anyone who wants to try it or use the STP files.
