摘要

In 3D printing technology, accurate temperature control of the nozzle and stepper motor is crucial for print quality. This study fabricated NiCr/NiSi thin film thermocouples using magnetron sputtering technology on 0.1 mm polyimide substrates. The thermocouples were calibrated to achieve a Seebeck factor of 39.80 μV/℃ and successfully measured temperatures during actual printing processes. Results show that the stepper motor temperature stabilizes at 55.67 ℃ with significant fluctuations, while the nozzle temperature rapidly reaches 189.62 ℃ and maintains stability. NiCr/NiSi thin film thermocouples demonstrate superior response times and temperature stability compared to traditional K-type wire thermocouples, enabling more precise temperature monitoring for improved 3D printing quality.
