Our shower screen is very old but still very good. Some of the rubber seals are perished though, and while I can buy a replacement online, I only really need a few bits for cosmetic improvement and the minimum seems to be 2 metres for £20 GBP! It's only pence to print them in TPU so I had a go at making my own.
From the measurements of the old ones, the pattern seems to be identified as BIF060 so I put those sizes into Fusion360 and tried a prototype small section. That fitted perfectly but I needed to thicken up the arch slightly, as well as setting Cura to do 100% infill as the prototype was weak at the T-junction with the arch and separated quite easily when I pulled on it. 100% infill (with 3 walls) seems to be super-strong.
Orientation is with the arch uppermost, so support “to buildplate” props up the overhang nicely, prints cleanly, and detaches really easily.
Our shower screen only actually needs to seal in one small place near the wall hinge at the bottom, the rest of the bottom sits just inside the bath edge and the top is open to the air anyway, so nearly all of it is purely cosmetic but it was looking manky in places so this does the trick.
If this happens to be your screen seal pattern, please post your makes and say how you got on with the print.
As supplied, the STL pattern is 147mm long.
I used Eryone Black Shore-95A TPU printed direct from drybox, I really like that filament as it always prints very cleanly on my Elegoo Neptune3Pro. It's slow though, 30mm/sec is as fast as I've ever gone with TPU and I did that with these strips, they took just under 3 hours to do each one! Cost comes out at around 25 pence each. I used 0.4mm nozzle and printed with 0.2mm layers. The PEI buildplate on my Elegoo adheres beautifully to this TPU at room temperature, NO HEATED PLATE or there's a danger it will bond permanently to it. Allow the TPU to cool a bit after printing and then it just peels off the plate very satisfyingly.
I have no idea how long the finish will stay looking nice in the shower, I've just fitted the first one!
