CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The first 3-D printer in space has popped out its first creation. The 3-D printer delivered to the International Space Station two months ago made a sample part for itself this week. It churned out a faceplate for the print head casing. Space station commander Butch Wilmore removed the small plastic creation from the printer Tuesday for eventual return to Earth.
