UniFi Antenna Laser Alignment Tool (Building Bridge, Wave Nano, Wave Pico, Wave Pro, XG)

I made a dongle to align a UniFi Building Bridge antenna using a commercial, off the shelf laser pointer.  I used a cheap one from Amazon (< $10) and it worked great, but you could probably use almost any standard laser pointer.  The one I used seems no longer to be available, but comparable ones are running about $25 at last check.  Make sure you take off the filter that comes on the laser pointer, and mount it to allow access to the button.  The mount sits right on top of the antenna, and places the laser effectively in the center of the antenna.  There is a cut out for the polarity level on the back of the antenna.  

Print both parts,  screw the boom into the shell, and zip-tie the laser pointer to the boom (there are two guides for the zip ties  on the boom to keep them from sliding).

I recommend printing as in the picture from my slicer - upside down with supports as necessary on the outside.  More important that the inside be smooth to interface with the antenna.  I used 3 wall loops, 15% infill, .2mm layer height, printed here in white PLA (obviously don't leave out in the sun for extended periods, but you only need a few minutes to do the alignment).  You will want a brim for the boom, and supports for the shell.

NOTE: For models still labeled as "BETA", I do not own those antennae and designed the tool from Unifi's reference images.  Please comment below or DM your feedback with specifics so I can adjust accordingly.

Updated 11/19/25: Added a version for the Unifi Wave Nano and a version for the Unifi Wave Pico.  Use the same print settings and boom for all.  

Updated 03/23/26: Added a beta version for the Unifi Wave Pro.  Continue to use same print settings/orientation and boom.  This one might need to be diagonal across the print bed.

Edit 3/25/26: Removed laser pointer link as it was broken.  Any reasonable laser pointer should work, and should be roughly centered on the antenna when tied to the boom as in my images.

Edit 6/20/26: Added beta version for the UBB XG.  Continue to use same print settings/orientation and boom.

NOTE: You will not get a very good signal between the antennas while this thing is attached; remove it before trying to link them or measure signal strength.

It should go without saying that you ought to use good laser pointer safety when doing this - do not flash people or aircraft, and observe the laws in your municipality.
