You will know you are the one we have shown if you see two golf carts outside that are a bit overgrown. There will also be a river nearby.

After locating the Green Circle, you should see the entrance to the cave as shown below. It is within this cave that you will gain access to a 3D Printer, so simply enter. No need to worry about enemies in the one we have located as it only contains supplies.

Once you are in the cave, all you need to do is proceed forward until you reach the room with the laptops inside of it. It is within this room that you will be able to use the 3D Printer.

The 3D Printer in Sons of the Forest does require ink, so make sure you have it on you before interacting with it. You can find ink around the room as well as random spots around the world outside (i.e. loot crates). It is relatively easy to get, so you more than likely are well-equipped with ink already.

To use the 3D Printer, you can either press the “R” key on the laptop keyboard to scroll through different printable structures or press the “E” key on your keyboard to begin printing the item shown. If your 3D Printer is low on ink, a droplet symbol will appear and you can interact with it to refill the cartridge.
