Its probably the easiest to buy another hinge for glass that doesnt require holes on glass like
Then mount it above the broken hinge.
I think metal printing and/or CNC machining could be way over expensive, but please let us know the price if you go that route. If you really want to solve this with 3D printing consider printing it from plastic and reinforcing it with steel (wire, screws, tube, or reuse existing hinge parts), but it will never look good as if you buy a hinge
Tried this path already. I found no potential alternative hinge. Thx
Another options is to weld the existing hinge
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.
