Printing a hinge an option?

Anjunadeep · 2021-10-22 16:45:56

Hi Folks, One of the two hinges for the shower door snapped and I'm struggling to find a replacement. I know absolutely nothing about 3d printing, but it looks like such a basic piece.. So I'm wondering is there somewhere I could bring the good one to get it copied? Copy of the good hinge attached. Thanks

Yes should be quite easy. I'm sure there's someone on here who could do it

Hey, Yeah looks like a simple part to copy. I've copied many broken parts before. Do you want to send me a private message and we can discuss it?

Thanks Bryan for offering. I actually found someone on eBay selling the exact part that he had 3d printed himself so I'm sorted now. Cheers though.
