SmartThings Hub (gen2) Minimalist Wall Mount

Minimalist wall mount for the Smartthings V2 hub. Printed in white, it's almost imperceptible. You will need to print with supports, for the prongs that snap over the top. The hub is a weird asymmetric rectangular shape, where one end is higher than the other, so I added ethernet/power cable cutouts to make it easier to orient. It's designed to use US generic screws, and you probably only need one, but you can stick in as may as you like. The hub is light enough that you can skip anchoring to a stud altogether.

I've got both zigbee and z-wave devices on my system that are at the very edge of the range, so for me orientation is super important for maximizing antenna strength. I've added an antenna layout diagram from the v1 hub, and I'm told that the V2 hub uses the same antenna layout - and I believe it based on personal experience. (I had my hub originally placed next to wifi inside a brick fireplace, which is 'sub-optimal', to say the least).

I'm proud of this design, and I'd be delighted if ya'all had any suggestions for improvement.

UPDATE May 2022:

User brianw has informed me that the tolerances are a bit tight, and one of the four prongs may snap off when inserting the hub. I've uploaded the f3d file for this design so you can tweak it as you see fit. Sadly - i created this design before i figured out how to use parameters, so you'll have to dig through the drawing dimensions to find params to tweak.

UPDATE 2 September 2022:

I've uploaded an updated version with thicker arms and internal pinholes to add additional outlines for strength. (File named “Beefy revision”). I recommend printing in PETG. Keep in mind, two of the arms are shorter, and inserting the hub backwards will stress the shorter arms. Look for the cable notches in the arms to determine correct alignment. I've also added the .step file for the beefy revision, if you want to modify it further.
