    Hello.
    I bought and assembled an anet a8 printer. Everything in it works when it comes to its LCD panel (fans, heating the head and table, axis alignment). The problem appeared when I wanted to make the first print in the form of a 20x20x20 dice. The printer does not recognize the sd card, or it recognizes it but does not display files. Attempting to print via the usb cable also failed. The printer is connected to the computer, the program recognizes it, but it does not respond to any commands. I am asking for help, because I am helpless at this point.

    It's a bit strange, even incorrectly connected elements should not block the reading from the card. What version of the software do you have in yours? Let me just suggest that selecting an operation in the menu, first use the "SD-mount" option. You can also try to format the card (FAT) and save the files again, or change to another card. If something does not work, I suggest writing to the manufacturer: I was surprised how quickly and effectively they work - I reported a faulty heater, after a week they sent me ... the entire head :D .

    It turned out that replacing the card with a lower capacity one helped. I still can't operate the printer via the computer, but even if I could, I wouldn't. The card is convenient.

    And in pronterface, aren't any of your counterparts spitting out information that cold extrusion prevenented? It heats, it moves the engines, whatever it does or is it only detected and you can connect to it?
    Do you even know if the printing program can see it?

    My printer did not read 16gb cards at first. Everything is fine now.
