Netgear GS108 8-Port Switch Wall Mount

thingiverse

I wanted to clear some desk space by removing my Netgear GS108 8-Port Switch from the desk. The Ethernet cable layout on the desk was cumbersome, so I decided to turn the switch with its ports facing the wall - the cables came up from below and between the wall and desk. To make this more practical, I designed a wall mount for the switch so the ports faced upwards and were easily accessible. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 1 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 30% Notes: I printed this bracket using PLA. For better bed adhesion, I print the first layer at 85% height and 60% speed. I also include a single layer skirt with five outlines. The heated build platform is set to 60° C. My extruder temperature is 195° C. Post-Printing Cleaning away the skirt With a sharp knife, I cut away the five-outline skirt around the mount. Attaching the wall mount bracket I attached my bracket to drywall, so I used two E-Z Ancor Twist and Lock Self-Drilling Drywall Anchors (available at any home improvement store). How I Designed This Using calipers I pulled out my trusty calipers and measured the switch's width, length, and height, rounding to the nearest millimeter. Then, I added an extra millimeter for good measure. SketchUp With measurements in hand, I quickly sketched the bracket.
