NASA Wrench

NASA wrench printing on my Makergear M2

“While it’s not the first 3D printed object made in space, it is the first item made to do work in space in the hands of an astronaut.”

“When International Space Station Commander Barry “Butch” Wilmore needed a wrench, NASA was way ahead of the game; they e-mailed him a new one. It was the first time an object designed on Earth was transmitted to space for manufacture off the planet.”

“You can print your own version of the space wrench. And it comes courtesy of a download direct from NASA.”
