I have 3D printed parts for aircraft wings.  Totally depends on the filament 
and settings of the printer.

As these need to hold up $500 APs and survive year-round outdoors, I wouldn't 
trust 3d-printed plastics.

  Hi AFMUG, a rare request here. 

  I'm looking to purchase a large number of Cambium's e501s brackets, which 
they don't sell individually (reasonable enough due to low demand).


  A while ago on one of our packages from (passed through) Cambium, I noticed 
the name of a Chinese supplier that I didn't recognize. I visited their website 
and they seemed to be Cambium's plastics supplier. But I didn't consider that 
information worth saving. Has anyone noticed that name so that I can attempt to 
buy a number of brackets directly, if they are allowed to sell them?

  Reasoning: I'm trying to put together a "super-fast event Wi-Fi 
re-deployment" design. Basically, at the many locations where we offer Wi-Fi 
once or twice a year, we'd have existing e501S slide-on mounts, also terminated 
RJ45 ends with the cable glands in a tough plastic bag ziptied to the tower. 
All events would have the routers/PoE switches left onside with a standardized 
IP/VLAN/etc setup. The idea is that we can tell the techs "grab 15 event APs", 
which don't need to be programmed by the office as they have a standard config, 
and after climb the techs spend <1min per AP to slide on and plug in. So with 
these and other optimizations, an event of e.g. 5 sites x 3 APs per site can be 
fully re-deployed in 1-2hours, instead of the 1-2 days that we normally spend 
organizing, programming, attaching mounts, cabling, etc.
