TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a printer technical field, concretely is a leveling device for printer. BACKGROUND
[0002] The working principle of a 3D printer is to cut a digital model into slices, then print these slices layer by layer, and finally form a complete solid object by stacking one layer after another. This process can be achieved by sending the 3D model to the printer through computer software and selecting appropriate materials. The printer can automatically complete the printing process. The leveling device plays a crucial role in 3D printing technology, as it ensures the stability of the printing process and the quality of the printed product. The main function of the leveling device is to adjust the working platform (i.e., the print bed) of the 3D printer to maintain a horizontal state. Since the printer is usually placed on an uneven table or floor, if it is not leveled, the printed object may be tilted or deformed, which seriously affects the printing quality. The precision of the leveling device may be affected by factors such as design, manufacturing process, and materials, resulting in the inability to achieve high-precision leveling in actual application. This may affect the printing quality, especially when high-precision printing is performed. SUMMARY
