The utility model relates to the technical field of 3D printing, and particularly discloses a material networking detection device for a 3D printer. The device comprises a shell, idler wheels, a sensor and a controller, a feeding port and a discharging port are formed in the two ends of the shell respectively, a material guiding channel used for conveying materials is communicated between the feeding port and the discharging port, and a channel window is formed in the middle of the material guiding channel; the roller is rotationally fixed in the shell through a roller shaft, and the edge of the roller is close to the channel window and is in sliding contact with materials; the sensor is arranged on one side of the roller and used for detecting the rotation turns of the roller; the sensoris electrically connected with the controller and transmits material data to the controller for centralized processing. The 3D printer is simple in structure, can detect 3D printing material conditions in real time, transmits
