I have fallen down the rabbit hole of what it takes to manufacture
goods. This fascination is a culmination of my interest in 3D
printing and a recent dive into Andrew Huang's book, The Hardware
Hacker: Adventures in Making and Breaking Hardware. I highly
recommend it to anyone interested in what goes on behind the scenes
of how products are made.

This book, being fresh in my mind, led me to spend extra time
looking at the 3D printing section at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center
which featured the R.J. Hillan Multitool. I knew immediately that
I would go home and print it (or build my own) if I couldn't find
the STL. I find it so fascinating that you could potentially email
a file to space and have it produced on a 3D printer. The one piece
of info that I have yet to find (Need to take time to search) is
the type of hooks the astronauts use for tethering these tools. A
hook, along with a spot for velcro, were mentioned, are the two
additions I want to do to make it authentic. The display piece
lacked either for reference. This deep dive has been fun, the last
time I got this interested in an object was the STUG. III assault
gun... But that is another post for another time.
