UniFi Switch Power Brick Wall Mount

A 3D CAD image of a rectangular bracket rendered in golden yellow, and shown isometrically against a light background. There is a translucent lilac box contained within the bracket, simulating the power brick it was designed to hold. The enclosure has four sides and an open-top. Two opposite side plates extend outward like flanges; each flange has two round mounting holes (one near the top and one near the bottom). The main body has elongated rounded-rectangle cutouts in the side walls. The bottom edge shows a curved cutout inside the enclosure. A white 3D printed rectangular bracket against a red background. On the top, a long rounded-rectangle slot runs lengthwise. Each side has a similar large rounded cutout, the top is open, while the bottom has an arched opening. Two screw holes are visible in the baseplate (one near the top, the other at the bottom). A white 3D printed wall mount holding a power brick installed near an internal corner of two white walls. Various black cables are visible, a thick one attached to a plug at the bottom of the power brick, a thinner, longer one attached to the top.

I wanted to mount a power brick for the Unifi switch inside a pantry cupboard, so I whipped one up in FreeCAD1. Fits a power brick approximately 120 × 45 × 30 mm.

I printed it standing on a Bambu H2D and used auto tree supports on the build plate for the curved cutouts. I really need to experiment with BambuStudio and see if I can't learn to slice stuff better so the BambuLabs printers can bridge a little better. I suspect my Prusa Core One could manage that bridging without supports.

  1. FreeCAD is getting to be a very nice program, using 1.1 has been a delight, even though I'm still getting used to a few things. I'm glad I jumped ship from Fusion360, and stuck with it.↩
