[0002] 3D printer, also known as three-dimensional printer, is a cumulative manufacturing technology that manufactures three-dimensional objects by printing and bonding materials layer by layer. At present, 3D printers are usually used to make samples. When the 3D printer is working, the raw materials are melted and sprayed out and bonded through the multi-directional movement of the nozzle. During the operation of existing 3D printers, the temperature of the print head is always very high, which often causes damage and needs to be replaced frequently. The existing print heads are often fixed directly by bolts, which are troublesome to replace and easily affect the model being printed.

[0003] Publication No. CN 218505232 U discloses a 3D printer head that is easy to replace. The print head is installed in the installation frame of the printer. When installing, it is only necessary to put the fixing blocks on both sides of the nozzle through the installation slot and rotate them until they are stuck in the fixing slot, and then tighten the fixing bolts in the fixing mechanism to complete the installation. The installation is fast and the stability after installation is high. When the print head is disassembled, the rotating handle in the fixing mechanism is first rotated to release the first fixing rod, so that the thrust of the connecting spring on the second fixing rod disappears, and then the nozzle is pressed down and rotated to take the nozzle downward. The disassembly is fast to avoid affecting the printing process. When the nozzle in the print head is installed in the installation frame, fixing mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the fixing block, and the fixing block is squeezed by the fixing bolts and the rubber pad, and the second fixing rod is inserted into the fixing slot, and the fixing spring pushes the card block to squeeze the fixed card block, which greatly improves the stability after installation and ensures the stability of the printing process.
