Comment on How stable is a metallic print
DrunkenPirate@feddit.de 8 months agoThanks 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’m not sure on costs, and that depends a bit on material. I know ProtoLabs has a German location.
They do good work but aren’t cheap.

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:
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.
