Nasa Space Wrench (actual file from Nasa)

Hot off the press .... 23rd December...just in time for Christmas.
This is the first ever tool emailed to space and printed in orbit!
I haven't even had time to print it yet, it's that hot.

I found it here:
http://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/wrench-mis

...but the file wouldn't download on either IE8 or Firefox.
It did download on Android, but wouldn't agree to being transmitted to a PC. Finally I made it work by zipping in Android and transmitting the .zip to the PC.

I guess the engineers in Nasa, despite their brains the size of planets, forgot to change the file permissions?

Anyway, here it is for all Earth-dwellers to enjoy!

UPDATE:
I did a print in PLA on my K8200. 0.2mm layers.
I think the centre section is meant to turn and ratchet. But mine fused together :o(
Think the clearance needs to be increased for mere earth-bound printers.
YMMV....
