    Pretty much what the title says. My only thoughts are perhaps I am doing it wrong? or its not unlocked until later? Is it not working yet?

    I place an item in the scan slot, click scan, and nothing happens. My time is not lost as the massive warning labels say it should be, and I get no recipe in the menu saying I can now print them. Nothing. I have tried several different items, weapons, tools, blocks.

    Can I assume this is a bug?

    I think the items you can scan have to have a pixel value attached, so you can't scan things like basic tools, but anything of value should be scannable.

    Hum well beds have pixel values and I tried one of those. Same results : P

    Try seeds, they should be scannable

    do you have enough pixels to do it? i did it with a tent and it cost 350 pixels i think.

    Cant scan my mushroom schematics... and they have a pixel value of 252 or so. go go mushroom chairs.

    I did this with a stone pickaxe, yet to have done it, or try with anything else. But once I put it in the scanning slot, and hit scan and close the window, I have another stone pickaxe. Fo' free.

    So it 3d prints items you already have? interesting.But isnt the scanned item destroyed? so you should be able to scan a near dead pickaxe and get a brand new one free...

    You can do exactly that. Which I don't think is how it's supposed to function, lol.

    I just had to restart steam and now its downloading a new client, maybe they patched it already, seeing as the last several posts it seems to be working.

    Yeah after update still nothing with almost all the tools and equipment I have. However I can confirm that seeds do work.

    I am also unable to scan objects into the 3D printer, which is quite annoying as I would very much like to replicate a 1-hander I got earlier without scouring the universe for another.

    When playing on the 5th I was able to scan seeds and have them show in the list, but now I scan them and I lose them; nothing gets added to the list.

    I can scan seeds but, as with neo, I don't get anything for it, no inclusion in the 3D printer or anything.

    I'm actually having the same issue. I'm on a Mac, can't scan anything with or without pixel value

    You can scan all furniture and seeds. They should self-include.

    Yeah I am noticing it is kind of random as to what you can scan. Perhaps they have yet to add everything to some list somewhere? Most decorations can be scaned, as can most seeds, however a few don't scan for completely unknown reasons. Same with weapons, most I come across can't be scanned but sometimes I can.
