Description

A 3D printer using multi-color filaments Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing equipment, and in particular relates to a 3D printer using multi-color filaments. Background Art

[0002] A 3D printer, also known as a three-dimensional printer, is a machine that uses a cumulative manufacturing technology, that is, a rapid prototyping technology. It is based on a digital model file and uses special wax or plastic as adhesive materials to create three-dimensional objects by printing layer by layer of adhesive materials. Technical issues

[0003] Traditional 3D printers use monochrome filament to print 3D models. To accurately reflect the features of each part of the 3D model, the 3D model needs to be colored by hand spray painting. This manual coloring method is inefficient and prone to positional deviations when marking features on the 3D model, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. To address this problem, a new type of 3D printer with a rotating mechanism has emerged on the market. Multiple print heads are connected to the underside of the rotating mechanism. Different print heads deliver different colorants through feed tubes, and multi-color printing can be achieved by switching the rotating mechanism. However, multiple print heads are expensive, and the rotating mechanism must be switched each time a different color layer is printed. This can easily cause the multiple feed tubes to become entangled, resulting in printing failures. Technical Solutions
