This could make 3D printing of an adapter tricky. I was concerned that a blade adapter for the Enders needs to be very thin to fit the razor. That should be enough to make 3D models of both blades involved. Luckily, I have one magazine of Proline B-20 blades. That is just under the magic 38.00mm required by the Enders. While a standard injector blade is supposed to be 1.5 inches or 38.1mm wide, Schick Proline B-20 blades seem to be 37.95mm wide. Are they not all the same width? It turns out they aren't. But people do claim they have used injector blades. Any blade in the Enders can't be wider than that. The gap between the sides of the head at the front is 38.00mm. I just did an actual reading from an injector blade and it is 38.2mm wide. I'm firstly amazed how inaccurate my readings off an image off eBay are, but what really baffles me is the width of the cutting edge: 37.37mm.

There is plenty of other 3D modelling software out there, but OpenSCAD suits me best. As a computer programmer this approach appeals to me. You describe your models with little computer programs that are then executed to render your 3D models.

It is free software and available for Linux, Windows and macOS. My software of choice for 3D design is OpenSCAD. Here starts the geeky, technical stuff, but maybe you want to know what approach I'm taking. Those values will change once I have an actual blade, but they are good enough for now to make a… First 3D model of a blade Depth of bit connecting the tongue to the main blade: 2.5mm.Tongue from front to back of blade: 7.4mm.The software I use for image work is GIMP and it allows me to measure distances in pixels which-with the above image-easily translate into millimetres.

My first idea was making some sort of 3D printed adapter inspired by those for wedge blades. Allegedly you can use a modern injector blade and prop it up with a cut down original Enders blade.

How to use an Enders Speed razor with modern blades - a diary TL DRĪfter reading a discussion on the subject of using modern injector blades in Enders Speed razors I got intrigued and ended up buying on of those razors.
