    Are you planning to publish the stl at all? Super keen for one as I hate that mine floats around the rack.

    I've tried a couple of them but they were average.

    How thick is the front plate with the mounting holes? Designing a couple of these for my own setup.

    Ended up going to 5mm with a rib on the back. Feels pretty solid in the rack.

    Now to modify it to take an HA Yellow.

    ~18 hours of printing later. Turned out pretty well. Added a blanking plate below to give the mount more support; the switch is quite heavy.

    my wireless AP is like that, blue so bright at night it lights up the kitchen/family room area bright enough to be very annoying from the bedroom. 'fixed' it with 4 or 5 layers of white electrical tape, enough to still see it's status but attenuated the retina searing brightness enough to not bother.

    I have one WAP in the roof space and the rest have the LED light turned off....

    my rack is in a Mud room where no one hangs out in..... it all acts as a Night light when one is heading out to the Carport for a sneaky Midnight snack or drink.

    was more thinking swapping out the green to Blue LED's to match the Fan, switch and the Unifi gear...
