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

    CNC machining is going to be incredibly expensive for this sort of part.

    Metal 3D printing is also very expensive. Unless your talking about plastic impregnated with metal, in these cases the plastic is responsible for the structure of the part the metal is just aesthetic.

      Any idea about the costs for a 25x25x50mm size? Cnc and laser sinter?

      Haven’t thought about CNC yet. Thx
