I often used a single edge scraper like you can buy in the store to pry thin prints off my glass bed, after which I used a plastic scraper to completely remove the print. 

The disadvantage of such a knife is the blade thickness and the sharp corners of the knife blade, which caused scratches on the glass.

With a double-sided razor (0.1mm in thickness) there is a lot of flexibility and the edges of the blade are also rounded. This makes scratches on glass virtually impossible.

Various holders have already been published for this purpose, but almost always a safety cap is missing and placing the knife is not without cutting hazard.

With this design, placing the razor is a piece of cake, the clamping is very strong and there is also a self-locking safety cap.

For printing I used a nozzle of 0.4, layer thickness 0.2 and infill 15%. A brim or support is not necessary. Tolerances are tight, I used PLA for this.

p.s. When used correctly and placed at correct angle, it can even be used on structured PEI plates without causing scratches! (Total removal should be done with a plastic scraper.)

 

 

Of course, this glass scraper can also be used as regular to remove paint from glass, use in an aquarium and to remove annoying cooking residues from a glass top hot plate!
