If you just need the energy for the pool, a small setup without battery is all you need. Saves you half the price. Panels and inverters are around 900€ in Germany. Putting a battery on it makes another 1,200€ and it makes sense only, if you need power in the evening.

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.

TIL: One can upload pics in my Memmy app.

One pic is the broken part of the hinge. It was broken at the area of the headless screws (used to fix the iron joint pin). There is a hollow box in the metal. I think the combination of headless screws and hollow box is the reason for the damage. Simply to less material.

One picture where you see a proper hinge with all parts. The part at the wall is the broken one.

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.

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.
