GL.iNet Slate 7 Pro (GL-BE10000) Open-Back Wall Mount + Spacers

An open-back wall mount adapted for the GL.iNet Slate 7 Pro (GL-BE10000), developed through measurements, fit tests and several printed revisions.

The goal was a secure fit, accessible ports and plenty of open space behind the router’s ventilation slots.

Features

• Wider base with supports aligned to the router’s rubber feet.

• Large rear opening over the main ventilation area.

• Reinforcing bridge positioned over the solid product-label area.

• Recessed Slate 7 Pro / GL-BE10000 lettering.

• Optional 8 mm wall spacers for additional clearance behind the mount.

Compatibility with other router models has not been verified.

Version and testing status

V5 was physically printed and fitted successfully to my router. Cable insertion and removal were also checked.

The files provided here are V6, which extends the reinforcing bridge by 6 mm. This change follows a measurement of approximately 8 mm between the V5 bridge and the first ventilation slots, targeting around 2 mm of remaining clearance.

V6 has been checked digitally but has not yet been physically printed or tested. The retaining geometry, foot supports and screw positions are unchanged from V5. Check the bridge clearance when fitting your router.

No temperature measurements have been taken, so no specific cooling improvement is claimed.

Which file should I download?

00_PRINT_V6_WALL_AND_4_SPACERS.3mf

Includes one mount and four spacers, arranged for printing. This is a geometry-only 3MF, not a preconfigured printer project or G-code. Select your own printer and filament settings. If prompted, import the parts as separate objects.

Alternatively:

• SlatePro_Wall_V6_Open_W114.stl: print one mount.

• Wall_Spacer_8mm_PRINT_FOUR.stl: print four copies if using the optional spacers.

Use millimeters and 100% scale. Do not print the combined 3MF and the separate STLs together unless you want additional copies.

Suggested print settings

These are starting settings, not a validated V6 print profile:

• Material: PETG.

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm.

• Layer height: 0.20 mm.

• Walls: 5.

• Top and bottom layers: 5 each.

• Infill: 30% gyroid.

• Orientation: flat rear face on the build plate, as supplied.

• Brim: optional 5-8 mm outer brim if needed for adhesion.

Use temperatures, cooling and speeds appropriate to your calibrated filament profile.

The spacers need no supports. Check the mount’s retaining-arm overhangs in your slicer and add local supports from the build plate where necessary.

Installation

1. Test-fit the router before mounting the holder to the wall.

2. Align the router’s product-label side with the engraved reinforcing bridge.

3. Check that the feet sit correctly, the bridge clears the central ventilation slots, and the ports and antennas remain accessible.

4. If using spacers, install all four, one behind each screw hole.

5. Use screws and wall anchors appropriate for your wall. Screw heads must fit the countersunk recesses without protruding toward the router.

6. Tighten gently by hand and check that the mount is secure.

The screw-hole spacing is 80 × 60 mm. Mount bores are 4.5 mm, and spacer bores are 4.6 mm. Account for the spacer height when choosing screw length.

Dimensions

• Mount envelope: approximately 114 × 99.5 × 44.4 mm.

• Frame thickness: 4.5 mm.

• Spacers: 8 mm high, 14 mm outside diameter.

Further revisions were developed with AI-assisted CAD work, measurements from my router and physical print feedback.
