3D printer, control method of 3D printer and computer readable storage medium

Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D printer which comprises a control device, a feeding mechanism and a printing head assembly of the 3D printer. The feeding mechanism and the printing head assembly are connected with the control device, the feeding mechanism is connected with the printing head assembly of the 3D printer and comprises at least two sets of feeding pipes, each set of feeding pipe is provided with a material breaking detecting device, and the control device controls the feeding pipes, provided with consumable items, in the feeding mechanism to conduct feeding when the material breakingdetecting devices detect material breaking of the feeding pipes. The invention further discloses a control method of the 3D printer and a computer readable storage medium. The 3D printer is provided with the at least two sets of feeding pipes and material breaking detecting devices, when the material breaking detecting devices detect material breaking of the inner end of one feeding pipe, the other feeding pipes provided with the consumable items are switched for feeding, the aims that in the 3D printer printing process, human interference is not needed, and automatic switching of materials iscarried out are achieved, and printing failures and consumable item waste are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of 3D printers, in particular to a 3D printer, a control method thereof, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] FDM (short for "Fused Deposition Modeling", fused deposition modeling) 3D printers use the principle of fusion deposition to print 3D models. Traditional FDM 3D printers change the linear consumables from solid high-temperature heating to molten fluid state, and then import them through the extrusion mechanism at the rear, and extrude the molten consumables from the front extrusion nozzle to print the model. [0003] During the printing process of FDM 3D printers, due to various reasons, there may be situations such as material breakage and lack of materials. Therefore, personnel are usually required to monitor in real time, and replace them in time when the remaining materials are found to be insufficient. This requires personnel to monitor in real time and replace consumables...
