Zusammenfassung:A printer unit (100) for a 3D-printing apparatus. The printer unit comprises a printer head (105) comprising a nozzle (110) arranged to deposit printing material from the printer unit, a pressure sensor (120) configured to sense a pressure exerted on the printer head from the printing material, and a control unit (130) coupled to the pressure sensor. The control unit is configured to control the speed of the printer head based on a transfer function from the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor to a desired speed of the printer head, in order to maintain a constant deposition of the amount of printing material per length unit of deposited printing material.
