Tuning and Customization
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 […]

Adding an oil collector on a direct injection engine can help maintain horsepower and mitigate issues with carbon build up on valves. I first heard of them reading a online forum “discussion” between two tuners and one brings up GAD tuning. One thing I realized there are tuners that I […]
