<p>Materials used in space need to not outgas significantly  </p>

<p>An answer to this question: <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/91/would-3d-printed-objects-outgas-in-vacuum?newreg=63cb72665132436c92ff1a842afac664">Would 3d-printed objects outgas in vacuum?</a></p>

<p>referred to the NASA outgassing database which showed that ABS, PET, and PLA filaments are all fairly low outgassing and suitable for space application.</p>

<p>What I'm wondering is whether there are any 3D-printable plastics that are both suitable for space and also self-lubricating.   Nylon is the obvious printable self-lubricating material, but I believe that it outgasses too much (I don't think NASA has tested nylon filament, at least I can't find it in the database). </p>

<p>My primary interest is in hobbyist-grade, FDM printers but if there are materials that can be commercially 3D printed, that is also of interest.</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

If you have a makerspace in your area, you'll likely find individuals with reasonable mechanical skills suitable for simple kit assembly. Most kits are engineered to be reasonable assembly, not rocket surgery. Makers are by nature capable of construction, often from raw materials, and kits are typically not particularly challenging comparatively speaking.
Resin 3D printers are also simple in construction, as the component count is less than that of an FDM printer, or quite close in count. SLA designs involve laser modules, mirrors and alignment, while DLP designs involve light projection and light masking. Both designs involve vats and movement mechanics.
Even if you do not have a makerspace local to you, consider to contact one that might be nearer than farther away, as those spaces may have leads for you to locate a suitable victim/candidate.
Our local library makerspace often farms out contacts to me or other makers with the necessary skills to meet a patron's requirements.
