Abstract
The invention provides a method for height difference measurement between the print heads and a 3D printer using the method. The 3D printer includes a printing module, a contact sensor, a movement sensor and a controller. The controller makes a 3D print head and the contact sensor contact to each other vertically for generating a contact signal, and obtains a first height value according to a vertical movement distance between the printing module and the contact sensor. The controller makes a color head and the contact sensor contact to each other vertically for generating the contact signal, and obtains a second height value according to a vertical movement distance between the printing module and the contact sensor. The controller obtains a height difference between the 3D print head and the color head according to the first height value and the second height value.
