Do you remember what brand it was Or do you think replacing them every so often . The people with the frags racks glued to magnets , should they be worried ?
I just don't keep glass scrapers in the tank anymore. I try not to have a lot of magnets in the tank if possible but checking for rust on anything containing metal is always a good idea anyway.

As far as brand - pretty sure it was one of the old Aqueon scrapers. And by old, I mean it was likely going on 20+ years old at the time.

First print started:

Redesigned for vertical:

I'm not positive that the vertical mount will hold it good enough so I'm not printing it yet.

I test fit it this morning and it works great. Might have to use the spare now because I'm not positive it'll come off without breaking.

Also figured out a redesign for the vertical mount that should definitely work better.

If you have room, put the plate in the freezer with the print on it. Leave it there for about 30 min, or so. It'll pop right off.

No, I meant on the spare gyre. It came off the plate fairly easily.

Ahhhh... ok. Thanks for clarifying. And I'm not talking about the skin on your face. However, if I were talking about skin clarifying then @Fish Styx would be the go-to for product recommendations.

I wish I knew how to do this .
TinkerCAD is an easy to use, somewhat easy to learn CAD program. It's basically gluing shapes together to build things.

Great news! Don't bother closing your credit cards for a few hours please. I need some new shoes and a new fishtank would be nice!

3D printers are so convenient! I probably just saved myself $10 for $0.03 worth of plastic:

One of the 20 year old little plastic retainer clips broke on my truck so I printed a new one.
