1. A method for verifying a three-dimensional (3D) printing job, comprising:
receiving a request to print an object at a 3D printer;
generating an audio code for causing one or more components of the 3D printer to perform extra movements during the 3D printing job without using any printing material and then return the one or more components to their pre-audio position without affecting the object;
inserting the audio code into a printing file for the object;
receiving an audio file of the 3D printer printing the object; and
verifying the printed object based on the audio file and the audio code.
