Sons of the Forest includes crafting options and tools that weren’t part of Endnight Game’s previous title, The Forest. Perhaps one of the more interesting new crafting tools is the 3D Printer, which can seem like it’s misplaced on an island of cannibals. However, you might find it useful for crafting if you have the resin to use it.
The 3D Printer in Sons of the Forest isn’t something you can build anywhere on the island. In fact, you can’t even move it from its location. Instead, you’ll need to gather the Printer Resin you can find at the crash site or in crates around the island and make your way to the Printer to craft what you need.
Where to Find the 3D Printer Location in Sons of the Forest
The 3D Printer location is deceptively simple in Sons of the Forest, as the game tells you where it is through a map marker. If you open your GPS Tracker (M/Unbound by default), there’s a green dot not far from the crash site. At the location of the green dot, you’ll find a cave. Head inside.
The rocky section of the cave will give way to a more modern interior. While it’s dark, I haven’t seen cannibals inside at any point I’ve been there, so you should be relatively safe. The room with the Printer is the first room you’ll come across.

From there, you can go ahead and begin crafting items or item components using the printer if you have enough Resin with you. You might also find some Resin in the room. There’s even a bed you can use to save your game and avoid losing progress after gathering your newly printed items. Some players have even found there’s a glitch for crafting multiple items via save/load.
And that’s how to find the 3D Print in Sons of the Forest. The survival-horror game is similar to its predecessor in many ways, but it also has different features from The Forest. As the game is in Early Access, we’re constantly expanding our collection of Sons of the Forest guides, and you can check out other topics like how to find the Flashlight or how to turn on Big Head mode for adorable animals.
