3D Printer Meme - WORKING Tools in Space

A company has developed the technology to scan a tool, then print a fully functional 3D copy of it. They're talking about using it in space in case a bag of tools goes for an untethered space walk. It doesn't print cheeseburgers.

I wonder what would happen to the wrench if he used it "properly" - i.e. with more leverage... use it to open a fire-hydrant or something...

Also, how long until 3D printers can print functioning 3D printers?
