I gave my son the Ender 3 V3 SE yesterday. After the first test print (scraper), my son gave me a 3D file (.stl) to print an object (opened in the Creality Print app).
Instead of starting the print, it created a large number of folders with very long names on the SD card. In the end, I couldn’t read it from the PC anymore and had to format it.
Since formatting, the 3D printer no longer reads any content on the SD card. I put the 3D shape of the scraper, the cat, and the test dog back on it, but the printer doesn’t see anything.
The key was formatted as follows:
FAT32
4096
What should I do to get the printer to read the SD card again?
I don’t know exactly what was on the SD card originally, apart from the scraper and the user manual. But I found some original documents from an SD card for an older Ender model in the Creality archives. I thought that maybe having the original files would allow me to see the files on the SD card.
The first time my son put a file on the SD card, it was a .gcode file he got from CrealityPrint. When he started printing this file, nothing happened, and when he looked at the SD card on the PC, there were 50 directories with very long names.
Before formatting the card, I tried to put the test-dog.gcode and a dog.stl (downloaded from one of the sites recommended by Creality) on it, but I couldn’t print them.
Once the SD card was formatted, I put these files back on it, but the printer can’t see anything.
