Linksys Velop Wall Mount Bracket suitable for Command Strips

thingiverse

This is a modified version of a screw-fix wall mount bracket for the Linksys Velop by Alleez. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4346981 The bracket is specifically designed for the Tri-Band model of the Velop. The goal with this redesigned bracket is to enable mounting to the wall using command strips instead of screws. To achieve this, a few issues needed to be addressed in the original design that didn't lend themselves well to mounting with command strips. A crucial requirement is having a bracket underneath rather than above it, to prevent the strips from pulling away from the wall. Command strips can handle plenty of weight when the force is applied vertically downward, but they struggle if the weight of a heavy object is used as a lever, which would occur with a bracket placed above the mounting point for the Velop. Additionally, there were some areas in the original design featuring single-thickness walls that were too fragile even for cosmetic use. I've incorporated side channels into the design to facilitate running cables through from either the left or right of the bracket. This build will require additional support.
