[0002] 3D printing, also known as three-dimensional printer, is a rapid prototyping process equipment, that is, a type of rapid prototyping technology, also known as additive manufacturing. It is a technology that uses digital model files as the basis and uses powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials to construct objects by printing layer by layer.

[0003] When optimizing existing cooling devices for 3D printer models, most of them are reflected in the convenient disassembly and assembly of cooling devices in 3D printers, extending the service life of the devices. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with application number CN202123292487.X discloses "An energy-saving 3D printer with cooling function". In this device, an adjustment structure is installed behind the outer wall of the printer. The energy-saving 3D printer with cooling function, the bracket moves backward, thereby driving the fan to move backward, increasing the distance from the printer, solving the trouble of disassembly and installation, and reducing the difficulty of use. The rotating worm gear drives the vertical rod to rotate, thereby rotating the solar panel. There is no need to move the equipment, which improves practicality, thereby avoiding looseness problems caused by long-term disassembly and assembly, and ensuring use.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned 3D printer model cooling device has certain advantages in conveniently disassembling and assembling the cooling device in the 3D printer, it still has certain disadvantages: during the 3D printing process, powdered metal or plastic and other adhesive materials will fall on the table of the carrier. If the material is not wiped off in time, it is easy to cause the material to stick and dry on the table, making the table surface uneven, resulting in the next printing operation, the bottom of the printed model is not smooth.
