  • Hi guys, thx for all your help. My project is finally successful. Shower hinge repaired - entire shower cabinet usable now. Let’s give you a short feedback:

    • I‘ve chosen PCBway as it was the cheapest with 90€ for stainless steel, laser sintering.
    • Other both providers were around 300€ up to 1000€ ( this one in chrome though)
    • The production & delivery time was quite long with 2-3 weeks from China. But I‘m not in a hurry.
    • I did two plastic prototypes first and discovered always a few new details I didn’t recognize first.
    • The metallic print is stainless steel (hope better than Tesla quality) and it‘s fully printed - not the walls only.

    At all it costs 130€ for the print, oil, silicone sealant and some other things. Saved me approx 2-4000€ for a new shower cabinet as spare parts were out of production. A picture in comment below.

  • Thanks for that thorough answer. Yes, I thought of the laser sintering thing. The glass door is quite heavy. I diubt plastic prints with some aesthetical metallic cover can hold it. I mean, the hinge was broken because of the weight and calcification.

    Do you have an idea how much laser sintering might cost for a 25 x 25 x 50 mm size? Printing it first in plastic as a prooftest is a good idea.
