Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a mobile tray for a 3D printer. Background Art

[0002] Unlike conventional printers that print two-dimensional patterns on paper, 3D printers can create three-dimensional objects by printing materials layer by layer. When printing, it first reads the three-dimensional model on the computer, and then prints it layer by layer from bottom to top to finally form a complete object. It is convenient, saves materials, and has precise printing. It has been widely used in aerospace, medical, construction, education and other fields.

[0003] Existing 3D printers are generally composed of an upper printing mechanism and a lower tray. When printing, the molten plastic filament or other adhesive is squeezed onto the tray through the printing mechanism and formed by cooling. When printing harder objects, the bottom of the finished product is easy to stick to the tray after printing. Some need to use tools, such as tweezers or a small shovel, to assist in removing the finished product from the tray, but it usually takes some time to remove the finished product, which makes the printing mechanism unable to work continuously and has low efficiency. At the same time, the printing mechanism will occupy a certain space above the tray, resulting in a small working space, which is inconvenient when removing the finished product. For this reason, we provide a mobile tray for a 3D printer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] Working principle: the tray can be fixed to the 3D printer through the fixing sheet 801, and the printer prints on the pallet 1. After printing is completed, the pull plate 403 is pulled upward, and the pull plate 403 drives the card plate 402 to move upward away from the fixed plate 2, so that the card plate 402 no longer restricts the fixed plate 2, and pushes the two pallets 1.

Depending on the different 3D printers, the two cleaning mechanisms 9 can also be removed and not used to reduce the occupied space. Since the position where the printer is placed cannot be guaranteed to be horizontal, before printing, the level bubble 804 can be observed first to know the horizontal state of the pallet 1, and the four rotating cylinders 802 are turned respectively to adjust the length of the movable rod 803, thereby adjusting the horizontal state of the support plate 5 and the pallet 1 to prevent the pallet 1 from tilting and being inconvenient to use.
