As shown in fig. 1, the three-dimensional printing apparatus supplies a molding material to a printing head 05 in the form of a molding wire, the molding wire 03 is wound around a reel 02, and the reel 02 is mounted on a rotation shaft 01 of a reel mounting frame of the three-dimensional printing apparatus, so that the molding wire 03 can be supplied to the printing head 05. In the using process, the forming wire 03 is pulled out from the reel 02, the straightened forming wire passes through the soft guide pipe 04 made of the material with smaller friction resistance until the forming wire is supplied to the feeding driving wheel 053 and the feeding driven wheel 054 which are driven by the motor 055 on the printing head 05, the forming wire 03 enters the electric heater 051 under the clamping driving of the feeding driving wheel 053 and the feeding driven wheel 054, the forming wire is arranged in the electric heater 051, and the forming material which is heated into a molten state is extruded from the printing nozzle 052 arranged at the tail end of the electric heater 051 and is deposited on the printing platform 06 under the pushing of the subsequent forming wire; the controller of the three-dimensional printing device controls the printing head 05 to move in a horizontal X-Y plane and controls the printing platform 06 to move in a vertical Z direction simultaneously so as to print the predetermined three-dimensional object layer by layer.
In the process of printing a three-dimensional object, the printing quality of the first layer of sliced layer is very important, and not only is the distance between the printing head and the piece 06 of the printing platform during initial printing required to be smaller than the layer thickness of the sliced layer, usually 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm, but also the normal direction of the printing surface of the printing platform 06 is required to be arranged along the Z axis of the coordinate system of the printing head 05.
Therefore, before printing, the spatial position of the printing platform 06 relative to the printing head 05 needs to be manually leveled, usually, a level meter is used to measure the horizontal state of the printing platform 06, and the leveling is realized by adjusting the bolt of the adjusting mechanism arranged below the printing platform 06, so that not only the adjusting process is complicated, but also the manufacturing error and the placing position relationship cause a large difference between the X-Y plane of the coordinate system formed by the movement of the printing head and the horizontal plane, and the expected leveling effect is difficult to obtain.
