By rotating the nut 16, the pressure plate 15 is controlled to squeeze the support plate 7, which facilitates the fixing of the liquid storage box 6 and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the liquid storage box 6.
[0028] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the liquid storage box 6 is embedded in the bottom of the worktable of the 3D printer body 1, the support plate 7 is located on the top of the worktable of the 3D printer body 1, and the transparent plate 9 corresponds to the light source assembly 2. The support plate 7 facilitates the support of the liquid storage box 6, and the transparent plate 9 facilitates the light source assembly 2 to achieve photopolymerization printing.
[0029] As attached Figure 2 , 3 As shown, two fixing rods 14 are set on both sides of the support plate 7, and nuts 16 are set on the top of the pressure plate 15. One end of the pressure plate 15 is located on the top of the support plate 7.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the 3D printing device for bioceramic bone scaffolds, the printing liquid is poured into the inside of the liquid storage box 6, the light source component 2 is started and the motor 19 is started to move the molding platform 22 downwards until the molding platform 22 moves into the inside of the liquid storage box 6. By cooperating with the molding platform 22 to gradually move upwards, the photopolymerization printing effect can be achieved.
[0034] When it is necessary to adjust the depth of the liquid storage box 6, rotate the nut 16 and the pressure plate 15 to remove the liquid storage box 6. Then, rotate the first fastening screw 11 to loosen the pressure on the inner cavity of the stabilizing slide groove 12. This allows the adjusting frame 8 to be pulled so that the second stabilizing slider 10 can slide inside the stabilizing slide groove 12, thereby adjusting the depth inside the liquid storage box 6. At the same time, the sealing ring 13 improves the sealing strength between the liquid storage box 6 and the adjusting frame 8. Then, rotate the first fastening screw 11 to press the inner cavity of the stabilizing slide groove 12 to easily fix the adjusted depth.
[0035] After printing is completed, rotating the second fastening screw 20 releases the pressure on the second connecting seat 23, allowing the bottom printed part to be moved out of the 3D printer body 1 via the sliding forming platform 22, facilitating disassembly and material removal, and improving the usage effect.
