Reducing Discounts in 2025 to Increase Capabilities
The operational cost has increased as I get better tools to work on more cars. For this reason we will have to stop discounting as deeply and as a result our pricing may increase for orders in 2025 vs 2024. Some of the tools acquired in 2024: hexprog ii garage […]
M177 Issues Update 1
I made a video about a year ago covering some commonly reported M177 issues. In this video I update this video with better presentation of existing data and new data.
How TunedMercedes Improved Their 3D Prints
In this video I talk about some steps we have taken to get better quality 3D prints. One thing to note is that this video does not address the physical maintenance on machines which is perhaps even more important than the topics covered here. This video assumes you have a […]
Turbo Air Intake Design Considerations
I realized reading some posts that many people believe the ideal air intake for a turbo car to be the same as a naturally aspirated engine, and there are some differences. On a naturally aspirated engine the ideal air intake will provide a balance of cold dense air and work […]
2 New CAD Designs and Test Prints in PLA
Today I modified our existing C43 revision 2 based on our test print and we will make a third revision from there. This I believe is a good solution and I will send these out to everyone who ordered the C43 air intake prior. The C63 air intake I specced […]

Scanmatik 3 just released and we have doip, ethernet, wifi, some various protocol updates. It should be able to handle things that only multiplexers could do before. For example headlight coding.
HVAC In the Garage
Right now we are using a nicely equipped 2 car home garage and upgrading it for servicing cars and building vtol. We recently went out and ordered a mid-rise scissor lift for this purpose. Today I’m announcing from convertible-gift we are upgrading the garage to being fully heated and ac […]
Harbor Freight Jack Stand STL
This is an STL for a harbor freight jack stand adapter. I do not want to recommend it for legal reasons but something like this is useful to have between a jack and the Mercedes Benz. Link here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4913108

Good 3D Printing Requires Good Basics
There are some basic things one must get to start to print reliably well. This isn’t exactly intuitive either, but they are Leveling Layer Adhesion Build Plate Adhesion Environment If any of these are off a failure or weak point in a print can occur. However if some of these […]
China Engine Manufacture to Build Next Base CLA Engine
We learned recently that Mercedes Benz will use China’s Geely manufacture to make the CLA 2026 engine. This isn’t a huge departure as TunedMercedes members on facebook.com/groups/TunedMercedes have pointed out that the current engine is made by Nissan Renault. I am not sure how to feel about this, and I’m […]
