Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a 3D printer platform with easy-to-clean consumables. Background Art

[0002] A photocuring 3D printer is a printer that uses photocuring technology to create three-dimensional objects. Its working principle is based on digital light processing technology, but it uses liquid crystal display (LCD) as a key optical element to control the projection of light. The 3D printer platform is a core component in the LCD photocuring 3D printer. It is the base on which the model is actually constructed during the printing process.

[0003] However, the existing LCD printer platform still has certain defects when in use. For example, the existing LCD printer platform is generally fixed in position on the light-curing 3D printer by a fixing bolt. When printing is completed, the LCD platform must be taken out of the printer before cleaning. After printing, resin is usually adhered to the surface of the LCD platform. When the LCD platform is taken out, the resin is easy to drip out of the resin tank, which not only causes waste but also increases the cleaning time. In addition, when the existing LCD printer platform is printing, the back of the workpiece is not convenient for the operator to observe. If there is a defect on the back of the workpiece, the operator cannot find it in time, which will affect the quality of the workpiece. Utility Model Content
