Would you mind telling me what you are using the board for ?

[…] We are using the [smoothie]board in a 3D Refabricator (plastic printer) aboard the International Space Station. For what it’s worth, you can tell your customers that your contribution is helping NASA make deep space exploration a possibility by developing technologies for in-situ fabrication and repair of tools and structures.

If NASA handles the travel arrangements, I am willing to offer on-site support for them for free. :slight_smile:

We need a picture of that printer or a video of one astronaut printing a piece :slight_smile:

Has the lack of gravity any influence on bed adhesion?

@Gerald_Dachs I think from what I heard, 3D printing in space actually takes very little tuning from what we do here on earth. I hope they publish some details at some point though.

Ok, that’s just freaking cool. Old post but I just saw it.
