Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) printing device includes a first cylinder. The first cylinder may include a first plurality of holes defined therein. The 3D printing device may include a second cylinder interior and coaxial to the first cylinder that includes a second plurality of holes open to an interior of the first cylinder. The 3D printing device may also include a third cylinder interior to the first cylinder and exterior to the second cylinder, the third cylinder including a longitudinal cutout open to the first cylinder. The 3D printing device may include a supply tube open to the second cylinder, the supply tube to provide an amount of build material to an interior portion of the second cylinder.
