MT300N travel router magnetic mount

<h1>Magnetic mount for the GL.iNET GL-MT300N-V2 travel router</h1> <h1>Why?</h1> I use this travel router as a WAP while programming PLCs. The router is versatile and is easy to pack in my backpack. Using a WAP allows me to travel with my programming laptop around and inside a machine. The router stays nice and clean, unlike a 50' ethernet cord that collects plant floor grime and has to eventually be packed back into your backpack. Operators can't trip over wifi like they can over a 50' enet cord, but they will try to connect to your network in the hopes of free internet access (recommend you hide your ssid and use a password). Hanging the router from the power cable and ethernet cable at the grace port of an electrical panel wasn't very pretty. I designed this small case with magnets so that the router sticks to the panel. <h1>Features</h1> - The mount uses 8x magnets, 6mm in diameter and 8mm in height. You don't need all 8 magnets, 4 is more than sufficient to hold the router to the panel. - The magnets are press fit, the receiver hole has a small taper to ease magnet insertion and there is a smaller back hole which will allow you to push your magnets back out in the future if you desire. - The router is held to the mount with a single standard panduit ziptie. - The ziptie runs through an internal path. The ziptie doesn't feed in easily by hand, but feeds in ok with pliers. - The mount features side vents and does not block the router vents. - The routers' side toggle and button are accessible, but the toggle is kind of cramped with the ziptie. - The bottom of the mount includes a place to add custom text. I use the owner's first name. I've left a generic "MT300N" as a placeholder in case you cannot edit solidworks files. - The solidworks file is uploaded. You can change it. <h1>Print Instructions</h1> - Print with the text side on the build plate. The preview file is upside down. - The only feature that you will need supports for is the zip tie head cut-out. - The magnet holes feature a tapered top and do not require supports. - The vent arches do not require supports. - Double check the slicer preview and ensure that the internal zip tie path does not have supports. - The only feature that requires supports is the zip tie head cut-out. You can print it without any supports, but the zip tie head cut-out will be ugly (but will be hidden by zip tie head once installed).
