Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of 3D printers, and specifically relates to a hot bed structure of a 3D printer. Background Art

[0002] The 3D printer hot bed is mainly used to heat the workbench, increase the container temperature, and minimize the temperature difference of the filament. When the extruder heats the filament to melt and the workbench cools and shrinks rapidly, the filament can easily fall off the workbench due to shape changes, resulting in printing failure.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN212764787U discloses a large-scale 3D printer hot bed based on the FDM principle, including: a support member is installed at the four corners of the support frame by fastening screws, and the support screws pass through four mounting holes on the hot bed plate and are fixed to the support member by adjusting nuts; a spring is installed on the support screw, and the spring is located between the support member and the hot bed plate.

[0004] During use of the large-scale 3D printer hot bed based on the FDM principle disclosed in the application, the support parts are arranged on the side of the support frame, and the nut of the support screw is used to limit the hot bed plate to solve the warping problem. This process requires the user to adjust the adjusting nut according to their judgment, which may easily cause the hot bed plate to still have a small warping due to a small adjustment range, or the hot bed plate to warp downward due to a large adjustment range. At this time, the nut of the support screw squeezes the hot bed plate, which may easily cause the high borosilicate glass to break. Utility Model Content
