SMLight SLZB-06 / SLZB-MR Wall Mount

This is a wall mount for SMLight SLZB Zigbee Ethernet USB LAN adapters. The SLZB snaps into place and stays secure. It is easy to install and remove.

Update: I released a remixed model to mount with 6mm magnets.

So far, this mount has been confirmed to fit these SMLight models:

• SLZB-06

• SLZB-06M

• SLZB-06Mg26

• SLZB-06P7

• SLZB-06P7U

• SLZB-06U

• SLZB-MR1

• SLZB-MR1U

• SLZB-MR2

• SLZB-MR3

• SLZB-MR3U

• SLZB-MR4

• SLZB-MR4U

• SLZB-MR5U

• SLZB-MRW10

It may work for others as well. Please drop a comment for other models and I'll keep this updated.

Model features

• One-piece design

• Prints without supports

• Holds the SLZB securely in any orientation

• Mounts to the wall with flat-head screws

• Includes STEP and Fusion files for easy remixing

How it works

I designed this with compliant mechanisms so it is tolerant to differences in printer accuracy and materials:

• Small retaining nubs align with the vent holes and hold it firmly without blocking airflow

• Slots in the frame let those nubs flex during install/removal

• Two large keys line up with the adapter’s mount points. Together with the rim, they prevent side-to-side movement. The only way to remove the device is by pulling straight out from the wall.

• The fit is tuned to balance snugness with ease of use.

• Works well in PLA or PETG

Mounting

• Designed for #6 or #8 screws

• Mount the frame first, then snap in the adapter

Why another wall mount?

The SLZB is fantastic, but the supplied mounting solution (two tiny screws) begs a better option. I looked at the other 3d print models but I wanted something that works in any orientation, and easier than the large C-shaped clip designs. This version ticks all the boxes for me. I also thought about adding slide-in dovetail-style clips for extra security, but it really doesn’t need them.

Files included

• STEP file - for remixing in any CAD program

• Fusion 360 design file - native file with full history

• 3MF - to print the same as I did

Printing

• Print on its back. 3 wall loops.
