... what?

I don't understand either, do you want a recording of a 3D printer?

To this day 2025 03 22, there's already 240 3D Printer recordings : https://freesound.org/search/?q=3d+printer&f=&s=Automatic+by+relevance&si_tags=0&si_name=0&si_description=0&si_packname=0&si_sound_id=0&si_username=0&d0=0&d1=*&ig=0&r=0&g=1&dp=0&cm=0&mm=0

Although most are probably FDM / FFF, none are tagged as such.
And there is no result for SLA.
Doesn't seem to have SLS metal printer either.

I'l also mention, I think this pack is the only one with a full print length recording ?

it was recorded 10 years ago! Technology and the sound printers make probably changed overtime?

It would be nice to have more full length recordings too
(Maybe record a 3DBenchy?)

So if you have any printer at hand, feel free to pop your mic next to it!

Don't hesitate to include in the description, your printer model, filament usage, maybe print speed too?
