The bottom hinge of my shower cabinet door is broken. Can’t buy a replacement because it’s too old. I think about design it and print in metal. Or to sawing and filling it out of a metallic block.

I‘m not sure how stable a metallic print is. The glass door is quite heavy either around 15 kilos. Do you guys have recommendations?

And do you know a metallic print service in Germany or Europe? I own just a plastic printer

    TIL: One can upload pics in my Memmy app.

    One pic is the broken part of the hinge. It was broken at the area of the headless screws (used to fix the iron joint pin). There is a hollow box in the metal. I think the combination of headless screws and hollow box is the reason for the damage. Simply to less material.

    One picture where you see a proper hinge with all parts. The part at the wall is the broken one.
