This item is hidden in a variety of locations and caches across the entire map. This printer resin was conceived of and developed specifically for use in combination with a 3D printing machine. Even though all of this might appear to be pointless, that couldn’t be further from the truth. We have compiled a brief but comprehensive guide that will not only show you how to locate the 3D printer but also how to make the most of it once you have located it.
Where To Find The 3D Printer
The Easiest Location
Even though it is one of the locations that are easiest to find, the 3D printer is still not as obvious as some people would like it to be. The majority of players will likely overlook this amazing feature because very little explanation is provided regarding its location or even how to use it.
There are a total of 4 locations where you can find a 3D printer. The first option is the closest and most straightforward as it requires no specific tools or utility to gain access. Some other locations require a shovel, and others require maintenance key cards.
The first location is what we recommend for all players due to its easily accessible location and distance from the start of the game.
The location of this 3D printer can be found within any one of the many caves that are scattered throughout the forest. In this particular instance, the cave in question can be found right in front of an abandoned golf caddy. Since the cave does not contain any hostile creatures, you do not need to be overly concerned about what may be waiting inside.
After entering the cave, you should immediately head forward until you reach a long corridor. If you are in the right spot, the 3D printer can be found at the opposite end of the cave from where you managed to enter.
In the compact office, the 3D Printer can be found sitting on top of the computer desk. Even though you might already possess printer resin, there is almost always more resin in the same room where the printer is located. Be sure to loot every possible box, or come prepared with printer resin that you’ve already collected from somewhere else.

As stated above, there are a total of 4 locations players can expect to find the 3D printer, depending on your inventory, location, and desires this may vary. The other 3 locations do require some tools and utilities that alsorequire some exploring to find such as the shovel, nonetheless, 3D printers can be found at the locations once you have successfully gained access to them.
