Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printer equipment technology, and in particular to a device for removing consumables adhering to the leveling roller of a 3D printer. Background Technology

[0002] As a rapid prototyping technology, 3D printing has been widely used in industrial manufacturing, medical, and educational fields in recent years. Among them, wax-based 3D printing technology has significant application value in jewelry design and precision parts manufacturing due to its high precision, high surface quality, and suitability for processes such as investment casting.

[0003] In 3D printing technology, the leveling roller (or pressure roller) is a crucial component that ensures a smooth printing platform surface and uniform distribution of printing material. During the printing process, excess printing consumables (such as waste wax, plastic residue, etc.) easily adhere to the surface of the leveling roller. These deposits affect the roller's performance and thus reduce print quality. Traditional cleaning methods typically rely on manual cleaning or simple scraper devices, which have the following problems:

[0004] 1. Inefficient: Manual cleaning requires frequent machine shutdowns, affecting printing efficiency and is cumbersome to operate.

[0005] 2. Inconvenient disposal of waste wax: There is a lack of effective collection and treatment facilities for the removed waste wax, which can easily cause environmental pollution or equipment pollution.

[0006] 3. The structure is complex, and the installation and maintenance costs are high.

[0007] To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need for an efficient, automated and easy-to-maintain cleaning device to automatically collect and process waste wax, thereby improving the printing efficiency and quality of 3D printers. Utility Model Content
