Once you arrive at the cave, enter inside and follow the lab down. The first door you come across in the cave lab area is a bedroom with a 3D printer inside. Here you can make a variety of items, like the Flask, but, the one you want here is the Sled.

To create the Sled in the Sons of the Forest, you will need 1000 Resin. The 3D Printer has around 800 Resin already inside it, and there are another 200 on the shelves in the room. You should also have 100 from the helicopter crash, and however more you have thanks to the the various pick-up points in labs, tribal villages and other points of interest you come across.

Once you’ve got the required amount, confirm the print on the laptop, and wait 20 seconds. Make sure to top the 3D Printer up with Resin. Otherwise, it will run out part way through.

It will also work wonders in the winter season, as most of the land will be covered in snow. This will remove most of the annoying bumps in the ground thanks to small stumps, rocks, and other obstacles in the way. Therefore, you should have a Sled printed and ready to go the winter months, as it will make traveling during the hardest in-game season much easier.
