I rebuilt a petrol engine a few months ago. I was able to design valve spring tester and compressing tools in Fusion360 and print them in PETG. To my surprise, the tools I 3D printed were plenty strong enough for the intended purpose. My engine runs very well. One of the great things about 3D printing (and being able to design in CAD): my 1st go at the spring compressor did not have enough clearance to insert the valve keepers. Within 2 hours I had a modified design that worked perfectly.

Such a powerful tool to have for any maker for sure!
Very nice video with a lot of info especially for those who are just starting or thinknig about starting 3D printing. Thx for all the info.
thanks for the kind words!
