Consumable support for 3D printing and mounting method thereof

Abstract

The consumable support for 3D printing comprises a base and a wire tray, the center line of the wire tray serves as a horizontal plane, the area above the horizontal plane serves as a first supporting area, and the area below the horizontal plane serves as a second supporting area. The device comprises a base and further comprises supporting plates, a connecting plate, a first pressing mechanism and a second pressing mechanism, the two supporting plates are vertically and symmetrically installed on the base, the wire tray is installed between the two supporting plates in the middle, the connecting plate is fixed to the base in the middle, and the first pressing mechanism is installed on the connecting plate; and the first pressing mechanism presses the consumables located in the second supporting area, the second pressing mechanism is installed on the connecting plate, and the second pressing mechanism presses the consumables located in the first supporting area. Consumable materials can be tidily attached to the surface of the wire material disc to be led out, the situation that the consumable materials in the lower half area of the wire material disc are loosened is avoided, the stability of consumable material leading-out is improved, a certain distance exists between the wire material disc and the base, and interference of the base on consumable material leading-out is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of printing equipment, and in particular relates to a 3D printing consumable support and an installation method thereof. Background technique [0002] 3D printing is a rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology based on digital model files and using bondable materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects by layer-by-layer printing. [0003] 3D printing is usually achieved using digital technology material printers. It is often used to make models in the fields of mold manufacturing and industrial design, and is gradually used in the direct manufacture of some products. There are already parts printed using this technology. [0004] Most of the 3D printing filament holders in the prior art are very simple and unstable. Such a structure will not only cause filament winding, but also easily overturn the filament tray. At the same time, most of the 3D printing filament holders are tighte...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the prior art, a tightening plate is installed on the top of the fixed base, and the tightening plate automatically resets and closes under the action of the tension spring to limit and fix the consumables of the wire tray. However, the tightening plate only controls the upper half of the wire tray. The consumables are compressed, resulting in loose consumables in the lower half of the wire tray, resulting in poor stability
