Referring to Fig. 2 to Fig. 5, during carrying out using three-dimensional printer 1 printing three-dimensional body, select and three-dimensional body The second extrusion cavities that the printing precision of middle different piece is adapted carry out printing this partial 3-D object, until completing whole three-dimensional The printing of object.For the not high three-dimensional body of required precision, can using the second larger extrusion cavities 1141 of effective aperture ratio, 1142 and 1143 are printed, and for the high three-dimensional body of required precision, can adopt less second extrusion cavities of effective aperture ratio 1145th, 1144 and 1143 printed.
During printing three-dimensional body, during the part of the high-precision requirement in printing three-dimensional body for the three-dimensional printer, As the outer surface of three-dimensional body, the second extrusion cavities of the less effective aperture in adjustment plate 114, such as the second extrusion cavities 1145, with First extrusion cavities 1162 dock, and so that the discharging opening of the moulding material of molten condition the second extrusion cavities from less effective aperture is squeezed Go out, realize the printing of high-precision requirement;Three-dimensional printer when printing the low required precision part of three-dimensional body, such as filling part Point, the second extrusion cavities of the larger effective aperture in adjustment plate 114, such as the second extrusion cavities 1141, right with the first extrusion cavities 1162 Connect, so that molten condition moulding material is extruded from the discharging opening of the second extrusion cavities, in same time, the second of larger effective aperture squeezes The amount of the moulding material of the second extrusion cavities extrusion of the smaller effective aperture of amount of the moulding material of extrusion of portalling is many, low printing Can save more time-write intervals during precision nibble, improve printing effect.
Referring to Fig. 6, three-dimensional body 02 is made up of outer surface layer part and filling part, corresponds to the first printing portion 021 With the second printing portion 022, require and improve printing effect to meet corresponding printing precision, less using effective aperture Second extrusion cavities carry out printing the first printing portion, i.e. the thinner thickness of every layer of printable layer;Using effective aperture larger second Extrusion cavities carry out printing the second printing portion, and that is, the thickness of every layer of printable layer is thicker.
Referring to Fig. 7 to Figure 10, using thickness, the printable layer for d1 is printed the first printing portion 021, the second printing portion Point 022 using thickness, the printable layer for d2 is printed, d2=n × d1, wherein n >=2, and n is integer, the value of n in this example For 2.
First carry out printing the first printing portion 021 using less second extrusion cavities 1144 in effective aperture as shown in Figure 7 Printable layer 0211, then adopts the second extrusion cavities 1144 to print another layer of printable layer of the first printing portion 021 as shown in Figure 8 0212, then adopt the second extrusion cavities 1142 to print one layer of printable layer 0221 of the second printing portion 022 as shown in Figure 9, such as 10 The shown last printable layer 0213 and 0214 adopting the second extrusion cavities 1144 to print the first printing branch 021 is constituted on three-dimensional body The outer surface layer on surface.

h2=h1+d1;
d2=2×d1;
H1=m1 × d1,1.5≤m1≤2.5;
H2=m2 × d2,1.5≤m2≤2.5;
That is, 2 × m2 × d1=m1 × d1+d1;
Can obtain, 2 × m2=m1+1, and 1.5≤m1≤2.5,1.5≤m2≤2.5;
So when the value of m1 and m2 is 2≤m1≤2.5, during 1.5≤m2≤1.75, often taking a m1 value, all having one M2 value is matched with it, makes printhead 11 during printing printable layer 0212 and printable layer 0221, the extrusion spray of printhead 11 Mouth is equal with the vertical distance between loading surface 141.
By that analogy, as d2=n × d1, wherein n >=2, and when n is integer, the relation of h1, h2, d1 and d2 is as follows:
H2=h1+(n-1) d1;
D2=n × d1, n >=2 and be integer;
H1=m1 × d1,1.5≤m1≤2.5;
H2=m2 × d2,1.5≤m2≤2.5;
That is, n × m2 × d1=m1 × d1+ (n-1) × d1;
Can obtain, (m2-1) × n=m1-1,1.5≤m1≤2.5,1.5≤m2≤2.5;
So when the value of m1 and m2 is 0.5n+1≤m1≤1.5n+1,2.5≤n × m2≤3.5, n >=2 and be integer When, often take a m1 value, all have a m2 value to match with value, make printhead 11 print printable layer 0212 and printable layer During 0221, the extrusion spout of printhead 11 is equal with the vertical distance between loading surface 141;
So n can only the span for 2, m1 and m2 for the value be 2≤m1≤2.5,1.5≤m2≤1.75.
