Theprinting platform 20 a comprises aslide track 21 a and amovable printing substrate 22 a. The scanning and drivingmodule 40 a and theslide track 21 a are staggeredly disposed such that they do not interfere with the movement of theprinting substrate 22 a. The scanning and supportingmodule 50 a is detachably combined with the scanning and drivingmodule 40 a and is driven by the scanning and drivingmodule 40 a. - The difference between this embodiment and previous embodiment is how the base 41 a of the scanning and driving
module 40 a is disposed. In this embodiment, the scanning and drivingmodule 40 a comprises afirst base 41 a′, asecond base 41 a″ and a motor 42 a. The motor 42 a is disposed at thefirst base 41 a′ (but not limited thereto), and thefirst base 41 a′ and thesecond base 41 a″ have a plurality of latchingblocks 411 a. Moreover, one end of theslide track 21 a is disposed between thefirst base 41 a′ and thesecond base 41 a″. - Referring to
FIG. 9 , which is a perspective view of a detachable scanning and supporting module of a 3D printer according to the third embodiment of the disclosure. According to the disclosure, a detachable scanning and supporting module of a 3D printer comprises amachine body 10 b, aprinting platform 20 b, aprinting module 30 b, a scanning and drivingmodule 40 b and a scanning and supportingmodule 50 b. Theprinting platform 20 b and the scanning and drivingmodule 40 b are disposed above abottom plate 11 b of themachine body 10 b. Theprinting platform 20 b comprises aslide track 21 b and amovable printing substrate 22 b. The scanning and drivingmodule 40 b and theslide track 21 b are staggeredly disposed such that they do not interfere with the movement of theprinting substrate 22 b. The scanning and supportingmodule 50 b is detachably combined with the scanning and drivingmodule 40 b and is driven by the scanning and drivingmodule 40 b. - The scanning and driving
module 40 b comprises a base 41 b and amotor 42 b, and themotor 42 b is disposed inside the base 41 b. The difference between this embodiment and previous embodiment is how theslide track 21 b and the base 41 b are disposed. In this embodiment, theslide track 21 b comprises afirst track 21 b′ and asecond track 21 b″, thefirst track 21 b′ and thesecond track 21 b″ are separately disposed; in addition, the base 41 b is disposed between thefirst track 21 b′ and thesecond track 21 b″; preferably, the base 41 b is disposed between one end of thefirst track 21 b′ and one end of thesecond track 21 b″. - Only a few implementations and examples are described, and other implementations, enhancements and variations can be made based on what is described and illustrated in this patent document.
