Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: When out of operation, SCP-XXXX is to be contained within the large electronics storage facility at Site-98. Use must be authorized by at least two Level 3 researchers and is to be carried out within Experimentation Wing 12. A Level 4 researcher is to allocate the maximum quantity of filament available to the experiment.
In the event of a DK-Class "Dimensional Rupture" scenario, two hundred human subjects with an IQ of 115 or higher (sourced via [REDACTED]) are to be issued for SCP-XXXX projects. Projects may be allocated a greater number of subjects if given approval via 3 or more extradimensional researchers and/or a member of the O5 council.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a large metal apparatus approximately six by six meters in size. The interior is comprised of two rooms: A three by three meter printing area (SCP-XXXX-A); a control room housing a non-anomalous Linux desktop connected via ethernet to SCP-XXXX-A, and a server rack connected to fifty ten-terabyte solid state drives (SCP-XXXX-B). No major modifications have been made to the object since its discovery.

SCP-XXXX-A resembles a large industrial 3D printer often found in small parts production facilities, but possesses the unique capability of producing objects in several different spacial and temporal dimensions. Although there does not appear to be a limit to the number of spacial dimensions the object can print in, the number of temporal dimensions available is capped at three. Attempts to override this limit have not been successful (see addendum XXXXA). The device is capable of printing at extremely fine resolutions, down to the molecular level if storage space permits for the model file. Procedural generation may be used to overcome this.

An anomalous filament is used for the printing process; analysis of the material is ongoing (see addendum XXXXC). Printing in higher dimensions requires exponentially more filament, specifically, f = [DATA EXPUNGED] where f is the required quantity of filament, s is the size of the object to be printed, d1 is the number of spatial dimensions and d2 is the number of temporal dimensions. By default, objects produced will have a similar chemical composition to Polyactic Acid (PLA) plastic in their respective dimension, though alternate materials or molecular configurations can be provided.

SCP-XXXX-B allows for the operation of SCP-XXXX-A. Proprietary modelling software is installed on its main computer, which has specialized editors for multi-dimensional object creation. Upon discovery, approximately half of the server rack storage was occupied with model files. The amount of which have been printed is currently unknown.

SCP-XXXX was found in ██████, Russia, during exploration of a dissolved startup with suspected anomalous connections. Minor damage was observed within the interior of the device, possibly connected to the events described in addendum XXXXB. Approximately ███ grams of filament were found installed.
