"Wifi Flag" - Rail mount for laptop-style wifi antenna
Description
3D printer rail mount for a WiFi antenna of the kind commonly used in netbooks and laptops (glued to the screen part's chassis). Works well with Orange Pi Zero 2 running Octoprint. After mounting my Orange Pi Zero 2 inside the electronics chassis of my Longer LK5 Pro, I lost all WiFi connectivity. Even sneaking the attached micro-antenna outside the chassis didn't help. But I had at hand two WiFi antennas I had removed recently from my broken EEE PC while extracting its webcam, and they were the only ones I had with connectors matching my Orange Pi, They are very functional antennas, and with enough cable to easily reach out of the chassis without soldering, but they are ugly as sin, and typically glued to the back of the laptop screen, no neat mount. So I made a nice mount to attach the one I connected up to my Orange to the printer. FreeCAD file attached in case you want to tweak or remix
