A method for seamless connection of linear consumables capable of color printing by 3D printers

Abstract

The invention discloses a seamless cascading method for filament consumables capable of realizing color printing by a 3D printer. The method comprises steps as follows: A, a filament consumable a withthe color of delta and the length of L1 and a filament consumable b with the color of gamma and the length of L2 are selected, and the lengths of the filament consumable a and the filament consumableb are calculated according to the volume of a print image; B, the filament consumable a and the filament consumable b enter the 3D printer sequentially; C, the filament consumable a is led to a firstfilament cascading mechanism, and the filament consumable b is led to a second filament cascading mechanism; D, a handle is moved, a push part of the handle pushes a pushing component to move, the pushing component moves and enables a moving component to move, and the moving component moves and pulls a heating mechanism to move towards a heat joining region; when the heating mechanism is locatedin the heat joining region, a fixing component locks and fixes the heating mechanism, and besides, a linkage part of the handle drives a driving mechanism to move and drives a filament cascading device to move to convey two strands of to-be-cascaded consumables to the heat joining region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a serial connection method of 3D printer consumables. Background technique [0002] At present, with the increasing popularity of 3D printing technology and its use in teaching, production, processing, and testing, 3D printers will have a small amount of redundant consumables during the printing process. This part of the consumables is not enough to support the next printing. For the rest of this part Consumables, the existing technology cannot recycle their raw materials, and can only be discarded, which makes 3D printing consumables wasteful and pollutes the environment; in addition, the existing ordinary 3D printers basically cannot realize multi-color printing of objects , but through special wiring equipment, this part of the vacancy can be made up. The specific operation is: calculate the length and sorting of the corresponding color consumables, connect multiple consumables in series through the special wiring equipment,...

For the rest of this part Consumables, the existing technology cannot recycle its raw materials, and can only be discarded, which makes 3D printing consumables wasteful and pollutes the environment; in addition, the existing ordinary 3D printers basically cannot realize multi-color printing of objects , but through special wiring equipment, this part of the vacancy can be made up. The specific operation is: calculate the length and sorting of the corresponding color consumables, connect multiple consumables in series through the special wiring equipment, and the concatenated multi-color consumables enter the 3D printer After that, the multi-color printing of the object can be completed in an orderly manner
