Do you have any pictures of the broken part?
Get a metal bar, bend it like the sketch I did and drill the corresponding holes. You could 3d print a rectangular spacer to stop the pin holding part from compressing in use.
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.
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.
