I‘m not sure how GDP is measured for an international company such as Google. Does the entire Revenue count cos the HQ sits in the US? Or is the license fees that it pays to Bahama‘s (in order to avoid taxes) is substracted from the US GDP? Does somebody know how that is measured?

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.

Thx. I‘ll check them as well.

Thx for the links. Once my design is final and proven, I’ll ask for quotes.

Tried this path already. I found no potential alternative hinge. Thx

Any idea about the costs for a 25x25x50mm size? Cnc and laser sinter?
Haven’t thought about CNC yet. Thx
- Comment on How stable is a metallic print 8 months ago:
I thought this version as well at first. Unfortunately, I found a detail that is sort of cogwheel effect - keeps back the door from swinging and closing. It will be very very hard to get this one drilled with a drill machine.
- Comment on How stable is a metallic print 8 months ago:
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.

True point.
My IT setup to get control of my daughter’s not-yet-rocketed-addiction is: screentime from Apple (that can be circumvented), seperated wifi for teens with on/off times (still they can use mobile network), blocked ip‘s for insta at router level (still not all IPs in there), and a hacker-style tool called Firewalla to monitor and control their traffic with porn, youth filter-block ability.
For this setup you need some steps beyond standard IT knowhow. And still it’s only 95%. Some day they found how to get through the little holes.
Oh, this effort for 3-4 hrs screen time a day including podcasts and whatsapp.
- Comment on Fear of cheap Chinese EVs spurs automaker dash for affordable cars 11 months ago:
Don’t think labor costs is a big factor. Car production is the sector that mostly automated. Just think of this endless bands of hanging cars with robot arms working on it. Tesla even topped this.
It’s mainly the unwillingness to design and sell cheap cars due to less profits. In Germany we had electric cars for 20k€ or even combustion cars under 15k€. But they stopped building it. Although it was sold out in weeks.
In my region there was a Startup by the Aachen University RWTH (which is an elite university in Germany) bulding small EVs for around 20k€. They simply bought all parts from suppliers and just assembled it. And engineered and designed it first. Unionized and still competitive. Unfortunately, they didn’t fly.
EV building is rather simple. The software is key. And this is the missing part at car makers capabilities.
I second your thoughts on trade war. However, I guess it will be much simpler with high taxes, high quality regulations, and may be less support by car workshops. We will see…

There‘s a word for that „Greedflation.“ This is western car makers do. Luckily, the Cinese car makers grasp their chance and disrupt the market

- Comment on Why do many folks play follow the leader even into adulthood? 1 year ago:
There‘s nothing more annoying than a group of „individuals“ on a night tour. Each move, either in this or that club, to the right or to the left, stay or lesve this place, as to be discussed in deep detail and from every micro perspective. Until a shared view emerges.
It’s simply a better way to be a group of people to have a leader who hs a say. Good leaders care about the group members and might even have more experience than the groups individuals. I‘m quite happy to have a guide in a museum who can tell stories about the images. I‘m happy to have a leader to follow in the mountains. And I‘m happy to have someone leading a group through new fields of anything, so I learn from an experienced and might do my own steps in this s field alone.
