This is an insert mount for a 60mm wide hole in ceiling or a wall. I made this to fit a Unifi 6+ access point on a hole that otherwise had no space above it for a regular electrical box. The 6+ AP uses the same mounting plate as the AC lite and LR models at least, probably also nano.
The thickness of the board in my case was 15mm, so it is designed for those measurements. I've included the STEP file for further modification if need be, like for a wider adapter plate. There are also older versions of the locking tabs in there that were left over as I thought up new and better versions.
For this specific print you will need 4x M3 threaded inserts and M3x20mm hex slot screws, and 12x M4 threaded inserts and M4x8mm countersunk screws. The adapter plate takes 8 screws, which is very much an overkill, but it does flatten the plate in place quite well.
Minor improvements to take note of: increase or elongate the size of the cable passthrough hole. Otherwise the cable might take an uncomfortably sharp turn between the cover and mounting plates.
Installation
Screw the 4 M3 screws through the insert and attach the locking tabs on top so that the tabs are inside the hole.
Push the insert into the hole, unscrew the M3 screws a little to allow the first tab leg to pass over the edge, rotate tab into place, tighten the screw to tighten the insert onto the ceiling.
Place the cover plate on top and screw the 8 M4 screws on.
Place the AP mounting plate on the cover plate and screw the 4 M4 screws through that.
