HELLO ALL! THIS IS MY SUBMISSION FOR NASA ISS CHALLENGE. ITS A 2 PIECE DESIGN. FITTING UTILIZING THE SEAT TRACK DESIGN AND A UNIQUE CLAMPING MECHANISM, WITCH LOGICALLY WAS DERIVED FROM THE ORIGINAL SEAT TRACK DESIGN. FIRST I AM VERY EXCITED TO SEE FDM TECHNOLOGY TO BE USED IN SPACE. ITS A GREAT STEP TOWARD EXPERIMENTATION, AND CREATION OF TOOLING ONBOARD. HOWEVER I DO THINK THAT PRINTING IN MICRO-G WILL HOW GIVE BETTER LAYER ADHESION AS TO COMPARED TO EARTH, SINCE GRAVITY DOES HELP TO CREATE BETTER LAYER BONDAGE. WITH THAT SAID, ITS STILL AWESOME TO CREATE PARTS IN SPACE WHERE MANUFACTURING RESOURCES ARE SCARCE. CHEERS!
