Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing 3D printers need to pre-estimate the material usage of the model when printing the model. Once the material supply is insufficient, the entire printing process will be interrupted, resulting in waste of time and materials; The finished product is pure color, and the color can only be realized by spray painting, which increases the difficulty of model making

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0023] The 3D printer includes a human-computer interaction screen, fan, X-axis motor, Y-axis motor, Z-axis motor, extrusion motor, heater, photoelectric sensor and control system. The working platform is connected to the Z-axis motor and can move up and down along the Z-axis direction. The nozzle is connected with the X-axis motor and the Y-axis motor and can move freely in the direction of the X-axis and Y-axis. The material is sent to the nozzle through the wire extrusion motor, and the material is melted by the heater. The inlet of the wire extrusion motor is equipped with a useful A photoelectric sensor for detecting materials, and a fan for real-time cooling of the printed model;

[0024] The human-computer interaction screen, fan, X-axis motor, Y-axis motor, Z-axis motor, wire extrusion motor, heater, and photoelectric sensor are all ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for suspending refueling of a 3D printer. The method is that the control system of the 3D printer continuously inquires whether a suspending refueling instruction is received during the model printing process. If the suspending refueling instruction is received, the control system The system suspends the model printing command and executes the subsequent suspending refueling work. If the suspending refueling command is not received, the control system executes the model printing command. In the process of model printing, when the material is insufficient, the material can be replenished to improve the utilization rate of the material and the finished product rate of the model; at the same time, by adding the pause material change command at the position where the color needs to be changed in advance in the printing model program command, you can During the printing process, different color materials can be replaced at the specified precise position of the model according to the color change of the model, so as to realize multi-color printing with a single nozzle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printers, in particular to a method for pausing refueling of a 3D printer. Background technique [0002] 3D printing, also known as three-dimensional printing, is a kind of rapid prototyping technology. It is based on digital model files and uses special wax, powdered metal or plastic and other adhesive materials to shape objects by layer-by-layer printing. . 3D printing technology has been widely used, such as printing model parts and customizing personalized products in the fields of industrial design, construction engineering, medical education, aerospace, jewelry and footwear. [0003] Existing 3D printers need to pre-estimate the material usage of the model when printing the model. Once the material supply is insufficient, the entire printing process will be interrupted, resulting in waste of time and materials; The finished product is pure color, and the color can only be realized by spray pain...
