FRITZ!Box stand - Industrial

FRITZ!Box stand - Industrial

A brief history: Originally, I just wanted to design a simple stand for my FRITZ.Box router to improve the Wi-Fi signal and optimise cooling. It actually worked – but then the project escalated somewhat. In the end, it turned into an over-engineered stand with an industrial design.

I wanted to share the holder anyway, now it has become a bit more elaborate, but it also looks much better – I hope you share my opinion.

Required materials

• 8× M3 x 16 mm machine screws
• 4× M3 x 12 mm machine screws
• 12× matching M3 nuts
• Hex Screwdriver
• Filament of your choice (feel free to get creative with the colours!)

I used this screw set* for this model.

Customisable holder Since the project has already gotten a bit out of hand, I have also uploaded two customizable versions of the mount. One version is for the ventilation slots: this allows you to individually adjust the spacing between the slots as well as the material thickness.   The second mount is for the screw holes on the back: here, you can adjust the spacing between the holes and several other parameters.   Simply click "Customize" at the top, select a mount, and modify it to your liking; you can then download it directly as a 3MF or STL file.     Standard dimensions of the holder The bracket should fit most current models – I use a 6660 and 7530. Vertical distance between ventilation grille holes – 49 mm Width of ventilation grille holes – 3 mm       Standard dimensions for the screw hole mount The mount is designed for model 7530 and identical models. Hook diameter – 9 mm Distance between hole centers – 154 mm

Finally, there are some brief assembly instructions that show you the correct order for setting up the Fritzbox stand – so that assembly isn't too fiddly.

Assembly

When assembling, pay attention to the spacers. There are two different types: one for the screw side and one for the nuts with a matching hexagonal recess.

#1 Holes

I printed the holes in the main arm and feet closed, which has the advantage of eliminating the need for supports and also producing a better print result. Since it is only a thin layer, you can easily cut the hole open with a sharp knife or use a suitable drill bit. 

#2 The feet

When you start assembly, it is best to begin with the base, as this will make it easier to assemble the remaining parts. Use the two M3 x 12 screws for this.

#3 Holder

Then screw the bracket onto the main arm. Use two M3 x 16 screws for this.

If you use the hanging solution, you also screw it in using two M3 x 16 screws.

#4 Stand

Then screw the stand to the main arm. Use two M3 x 16 screws for this as well.

You will need to repeat the assembly process twice, once for the left and once for the right stand for the Fritzbox. - Done

It's quite a niche model, but I'm looking forward to seeing the first prints and your feedback with pictures – especially which colour combinations you use.
