6$ per Nano Flipper blade vs 10 cents for a razor blade. If what I'm looking for doesn't exist, I'm going to 3D print what I'm looking for anyways.

Either way, I asked an innocent question and your response was not only rude, but added zero to the conversation. No **** you would have to buy replacement blades if what I'm asking for didn't exist. Doesn't change the fact that it's hugely overpriced.

Stick with their blades- Regular blades if not carefully used can cut into the silicone seal and you know what is next

3D print may be a good option

I shed tears of nostalgia when I saw this picture, It reminded me of my grandfather shaving razor.

You had two people both give you the same advice: don't cheap out on stainless steel blades.

One person gave me friendly advice and another person was condescending. Guess which one you were.

Thanks for the advice. I have a huge buildup of algae so I might consider a hybrid approach where I use the Flipper blades for the areas near the silicone.

They work remarkably well. Even if you let your beard grow out a bit, these blades slice through like butter. And like I mentioned, they're really cost effective.

Some people listen... others keep asking the same question. Guess which one you are?

And they are very dangerous if your not experienced using them

At the OP I've not had luck with any magnetic scrapers removing much of anything except the film on the glass. I've used many including the algae free which has a magnet strong enough that I have to take breaks when using it and I still end up having to use a hand held scraper for anything but film algae or very small spots of green algae but maybe I'm missing something.

I agree with the OP, I'd like a tool that I can put regular razor blades in for some of my high growth areas. I am a very experienced reefer and can handle being careful with them, i use them routinely in my hand but can't reach the bottom of my 450G this way. Does anyone have a 3D printed option?

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

There's a company that makes a replacement attachment for the tunze scraper that mows down coralline likenits butter.

I have then for my tunze and they work amazingly well... I'm very impressed.

I use this with those razors, I just restock on the razors about once a year.

I have seen so many opportunities for custom 3D printed pieces. I soooooo want to buy a 3D printer.

I have one but am struggling to learn CAD well enough to design my own stuff so I’m reliant on files already out there
