  • Publication number: 20190061265
    Abstract: A calibration method for compensating a home position of a 3D printer is disclosed. According to a movement position of a movable mechanism of the 3D printer, a control voltage is provided to a microcontroller. The calibration method includes steps as follows. The movable mechanism moves in a home direction. It is to determine whether the microcontroller receives a first logic level signal which is transited according to the corresponding control voltage. If yes, the movable mechanism moves in a direction opposite to the home direction. It is to determine whether the microcontroller receives a second logic level signal which is transited according to the corresponding control voltage. If yes, the movable mechanism moves a compensation distance corresponding to a step compensation amount in the home direction. Therefore, the calibration method is provided to reduce circuit costs, simplify designs of control circuits, and accurately calibrate the home position.

  • Publication number: 20190022933
    Abstract: An intermittent excitation apparatus of a 3D printer includes at least one guide, a drive rod, a movable seat, and a microcontroller. When the microcontroller controls a first motor in a non-excitation and non-rotation condition, the movable seat is fixed on the drive rod and the 3D printer performs a plane printing operation. When the microcontroller controls the first motor in an excitation and rotation condition, the movable seat moves along the drive rod. Therefore, it is to significantly reduce heat generated inside the first motor, decrease costs, and reduce the size of the 3D printer.
