Broken shower door

    We have a quadrant shaped shower unit and the pivots on one of the doors has broken at the top and bottom. The bathroom was renovated 8 years ago and the doors (Orient double pivot quad) are no longer made. I've tried the place that installed them and various spares sites to no avail.
    I really don't want to have to change the entire set of doors. Have any of you handy people had a similar problem and did you find a fix ?? Pics below.

    If you know someone with a 3d printer the parts could be modelled in a few minutes and printed in a couple of hours.
    Not in chrome, but deffo functional.

    Never even crossed my mind that this could be done. Fair play to you, I'll make some enquiries.

    Have you tried the manufacturer? We have an ancient (>20 years!!) door from Flair and they sent me a new set of pivots for free.

    I'd offer to do it for you but I've been far from successful with any attempts at my own modelling I've done so far :pac:

    But if you know someone with a printer it could be knocked up fairly quickly.
    I'd print it @100% infill and in PETG to be certain of strength ;)
