Hi, I just received my Qidi Tech 3D printer yesterday and it’s my first time doing this. I put it all together and effortlessly ran several prints (samples and downloaded files). Today I tried to save a file to the SD card to print it and it saved fine but my printer doesn’t display the file when I choose “print from SD card” like it did yesterday. Everything else comes up that was installed on the card at the factory. I’ve been running prints all day with my laptop connected directly to the printer but I want to use the card. Any suggestions?

I believe there is a limit on what size SD card you can use. I would try and format the card and only have the file you intent to print on the card. Just a thought.

Are you sure your file was saved where you think it was? (also just a thought…)

The Qidi doesn’t read straight gcode. Make you have also saved the corresponding x3g file on the SD card. Your slicer should be able to do this with a GPX plugin.

You may need to replace the card. I would try another new card.
