Aquarium magnetic glass scraper

thingiverse

This is a simple but VERY effektiv magnetic Aquarium glass scraper. It is intendet for Nano Aquariums, but can also be scaled up for bigger Aqariums. I had some 10x10mm Neodym N52 magnets laying around. These kind of magnets are VERY powerful, be carefull when you handle with them. They will suck together over a distance of about 10cm. If there is is no damping material between, they explode/brake very fast! BE CAREFULL! Printing: Your need to slice it for your Printer with the peace of Software of your choice. I used an Ender 3 Pro with Marlin 2.0.7.2 Firmware and sliced it with PrusaSlicer. How to update your Firmware you can find may Youtube tutorials. The reason why you need to upgrade your Firmware is - if you are using an Ender 3 Pro is, that you need the M600 Gcode command, to pause the print at the level where to insersert the Magnets and then continue the print. Unfortunatly the provided Firmware from Creality Ender 3 Pro does not provide any M6XX commands. So make sure, that your printer is able to use some kind of M6xx command and use your slicer to insert such an command or do it manally in a Text Editor. The resault is really good. I was impressed. Much better then any magnetic glass scraper you can buy from the well known brands ... whitch i dont want to mention here. You can work with it over a distance of 5cm... you don't even need to touch the glass. But with a pad of felt on the outer Part, its easy and fun to use and very effektiv!
