  • 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.



  • I bet this will come very soon. Still employers are resistant to recognize the changed landscape. Who isn’t willing to offer a decent pay, won’t get employees. All shitty jobs will fade away. Only needed jobs will stay. With better pay. And everything gets more expensive.

    Food delivery? Go, get it yourself. Or pay double the price of today. Supermarket? Only self checkout and a single cashier for the entire wallmart. Hospital? Telemedicine. Craftman for repair? You’d better learn it at YT Diy.

    Here in Germany, every then and now are some news about an industry that can’t find enough people. Typically solution: Better working conditions, more flexible work times, and yes, better pay. However it’s everywhere.

    If one stands up in a theatre to have a better view. Others will follow. And soon the view is as it was before.
