[chbot] [OT] plumbing parts for a Gemini Shower

[Geoff]

If you can't find replacement parts you could try making some new ones. I
presume they are sealing-washers made from some gasket material? Two
options come to mind:

   - If you have access to a 3D printer and can print TPU or some other
   flexible material, you could try print one directly
   - Otherwise you could try casting one from hardware-store-silicone
   sealant. If you have access to a 3D printer you could print a mold from
   PLA, if you don't you could try make the mold from clay or plaster-of-paris?
