We talk about the importance of annealing 3D printed car parts multiple times, rather than just following the recommended process once, to ensure the part is properly heat-treated for automotive performance applications. What is up, everybody? I’ve seen a lot of people get into 3D printing, uh, car parts, and […]

All right. Yesterday, we were given a new printer, X-Max 3. We now have redundancy. This will help us get through our insane backlog of air intakes. So if you want an air intake, order early, get in line early because there’s like a couple week backlog. we lost a […]

We talk about working with materials that have been annealed, and how the process changes their properties and makes them more challenging to work with. We’re going to try the process again without supports to see how it goes.  

In this short video we show how we make our m157 and m278 air intakes.

I am testing using PVA printed parts and laying CF right on top. This is an interesting solution to me to test because the PVA itself is water soluble. Additionally I am using a Carbon Fiber Tube versus laying cut pieces of carbon fiber. Some things I’ve noted are that […]

While there are many people who are better at this I thought I would provide some ideas on how to design air intakes and other items. The first is to mock up things using old school techniques, cardboard, measuring tape, pen and paper. Then you can start to move to […]

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 […]

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
