Has anybody tried to use a 3D Printer in Zero or 1/6th gravity of the Moon.

And it is unlike that anyone will have a 3-D printer available on the moon

Separating the urea from urine would be easy. Urine is about 95% water and 5% urea. The moon has an almost unlimited supply of vacuum, so vacuum distillation would be simple. They would probably want to conserve and reuse the water, so that would add some complexity to the process.

I thought this was an early April Fool's joke.
And that's how Neil Armstrong got Buzz Aldrin to open his fly on the moon.

Guys, I have a hard enough time peeing straight on Earth with gravity, no way this will work on the Moon.....

People used to sell their piss to be used in tanning leather.
There were times they were forbidden selling it. The King needed it to make gunpowder.
Look up the urine man sometime. One of the worst jobs ever.

A most excellent idea. However one must consider the cost of sending thousands of gallons of good IPA to the moon to pissed out by the astronauts and then be modified via chemical process to a usable product. It might be better to send the needed product to the moon instead of relying on astronaut piss.
In all seriousness. Due to our present state of technology manned missions to the moon or other planets is ridiculous. With robotic missions we can discover much more good science at a fraction of the cost of a manned mission. The Apollo Missions to the moon were political and not scientific. However, I am glad we did them. It was necessary.
