The utility model discloses a consumable guide mechanism and a 3D printer, and relates to the technical field of 3D printing. The consumable guide mechanism is used for supporting and guiding consumables in the 3D printer to move, and the 3D printer comprises a printer rack and a printing head movably installed on the printer rack. The consumable guiding mechanism comprises a consumable guiding support, the consumable guiding support is rotationally connected with the printer rack in the Z-axis direction of the 3D printer, a guiding hole is formed in the consumable guiding support and located above the printer rack, and the consumable penetrates through the guiding hole to be connected with the printing head. During printing, the consumables can move along with the printing head all the time through rotation of the consumable guide support, so that the distortion degree of the consumables can be effectively reduced, and the consumables are prevented from being broken; and meanwhile, as the consumables rotate
