The 3D Printer is an extremely useful item in Sons of the Forest, and you’ll want to revisit it often to make sure you’re creating useful supplies during your adventure. Finding it can be tricky, and it’s slightly hidden from you on the map, preventing you from going out of your way to find it. The location is well hidden, but you can follow it using your map. Here’s what you need to know to find the 3D printer in Sons of the Forest.
Where to find the 3D printer in Sons of the Forest
A green dot on your map highlights the exact location of the 3D printer. You can find it further on the island, deeper in the forest. The particular green spot you want to visit will be near the center of the island, southwest of the crash site. It will be west of the snowy mountain, away from the purple icons on your map.

When you reach the location, search around the rocks to find a cave. You should be able to enter this cave, and when you reach the end you will find the 3D printer. You can interact with the printer to start using it to create arrows, a sled, and other useful items. You will need Printer Resin to craft items during your game, which means exploring the island for more.

We recommend placing a house there and using it as a small base to help you secure items from early games. The resin in the printer will be hard, so you should make sure that you only use the 3D printer if you absolutely need the item and cannot make it yourself.
