COLLEAGUES TECC Presentation with NASA HERA Coordinator 

A former teacher was heading to Texas to speak at a conference and asked if I might print some swag for her.  I found and printed some key chains.  One was a shoe, the other looked like a NASA coin.

A second request with the question, "Can you build this?"  She shared the images of a NASA training habitat that would act as a good visual to her audience.  After some time of stewing, I dove in and started to recreate the HERA habitat.  It took about 7 hours for me to learn some tricks and design it.  After I was pleased with it, I broke the model into parts and spent over 100 hours printing all the pieces.  I did have to make some reprints and adjustments along the way.  After the pieces were printed,  I painted, and assembled to create the final product.

She was thrilled by the final product.  She stated that is was an amazing addition to the presentation.  Her co-presenter was one of the training directors and stated the model would be put in the facility when the next crew switch was made.
