3D Printer Guide
The 3D Printer can be used to print furniture in Pokemon Pokopia. Read on to learn how to use the 3D Printer, how to take reference photos, and the best things to copy.

How to Use The 3D Printer

Duplicate Furniture in Exchange For Pokemetal

Using the 3D Printer
You can use the 3D Printer found in the Pokemon Center to duplicate furniture using Pokemetal without needing a crafting recipe.

Simply take a reference photo of the object you want to duplicate, then submit it to the 3D Printer. Set the quantity that you want, and exchange it for the required amount of Pokemetal. You will shortly receive the item after.

Bigger Objects Need More Pokemetal

Horsea Fountain 3D Printing Cost
Bigger objects will need more Pokemetal to craft than others. At minimum, one block furniture items require 2 Pokemetal to print.

Some objects may require rare Pokemetal depending on its size and features such as the Horsea Fountain.

How to Get Pokemetal

Press Y While Using the Camera to Take References

Taking a photo of the Big Storage Box
Press Y while using the Camera to change the Camera Mode. This will allow you to take reference photos.

Keep in mind that you only get 20 Album Slots for references, so you may need to delete photos to make space for more if needed.

Best Things to Copy


Furniture Used For Habitats

Make Copies of the Gravestone
The 3D Printer can help you obtain items that are needed for rare habitats. If a habitat needs an uncommon item, such as the Gravestone, you can take a picture and print a copy—especially if its recipe is hard to come by.
