In 2014, the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum displayed both the parabolic flight prints, alongside the printer (neither of which went to space) as part of their exhibition “tools: extending our reach.” The exhibition explored why tools come to be.

Erika Blumenfeld in collaboration with NASA has been working the Astromaterials 3D - a collection of digitized astromaterials with the mission to “put these incredible rocks from different origins across our solar system in your hands, virtually.”
Each entry in the digital library holds the stories and any relevant information relating to rock fragments, along wise the complex 3d mess model of the original rock.
the project states: “Through information-rich exterior visualizations and interior scans, Astromaterials 3D makes these significant samples more available to the world in a new way. Astromaterials 3D offers the scientific community an unprecedented research tool for preliminary investigation and targeted sub-sample requests. To the worldwide public, Astromaterials 3D provides an engaging way to explore both the scientific and cultural significance of NASA's space rock collections.”

2015 Unboxing the first 3d prints from the ISS at the NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Centre. Each piece individually wrapped to be tested against earth-printed versions.
The 3D printed ISS Ratchet Wrench
One of the first tools printed on the ISS. The file was made by Made In Space and emailed to the ISS where it was printed within 2 hours (with additive manufacturing). This was one of the more intricate prints including an internal gear which enables the ratcheting function.

The 14 Demo 3D files printed on the ISS
On NASA's website you can find a list of the first 14 prints that were made on the ISS. Among them the 3D printed wrench, a sample container and a few other test components. One can access this files among many other in NASA's public 3D printable model inventory.
