Description

This is a collection of tools, 3d printed test objects and components that was printed by astronauts from NASA on the International Space Station (ISS). Some of the objects was made on earth and then sent to the ISS where it was printed.

 

The time listed below is in minutes and calculated for the 3d-printer onboard the ISS. Bambu Labs printers are a bit faster.

The printer on the ISS looks very impressive:

 

Here is a video from NASA talking about the parts listed below and you also get some information about the printer.

014

Microgravity Structure Test Specimen

This is a test of a part that would be difficult, if not impossible, to successfully 3D print due to gravitational effects (sag, overhang, etc.). Used to determine if benefits exist of printing in microg. Ie the ability to print large overhangs without support.
