U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Trevor Zucker, 1st Combat Communications Squadron radio frequency transmissions technician, adjusts a 3D printer before creating a plastic mock-up of a mounting bracket used on the quad-band large aperture antenna system Nov. 19, 2020, on Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Recurrent inspections of the Q-LAA require frequent assembly and dis-assembly, creating the need for regular replacements of this bracket, which has become difficult to obtain. Zucker used a 3D printer to create the replacement mounting bracket, preventing the satellite communications system from becoming non-mission capable. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.
