I jumped in with both feet and bought 2 3D printers in the same week, I got a SooWay SW-200 that is 180 x 180 x 180 and a Ender 3 Pro that is 220 x 220 x 250, and made a simple print on the SooWay, have not printed on the Ender yet cause I need to do some cable management cause the cables are out of control but did see a Ender section on Thingiverse and download some cable clips and mount files and will print some out when I can and need to buy or build a work station or bench or table, cause my rollaway tool box is too small for both printers and my laptop

I just scored a free table to set my printers on and my laptop and still have room too work, got to love free shit

What are you using to slice the files?

How are you copying? Does the card show the new files when you look at the card on the computer, not printer


Hang up and Drive

[Neilo68]

yeah it shows on both just not showing as g code on printer

[mikemcE]

First answer from experts is “didja try another card” My stock wanhao card did that, but got error messages


Hang up and Drive

[Neilo68]

ok have to see if I have another but this is the one that came with printer and pre loaded files work fine

[mikemcE]

Yeah, mine was corrupted as many were, odd thing was i copied the original files to the new card and all worked


Hang up and Drive

[Neilo68]

You got it right after my post. You're not using a "slicer". You need to use Cura (free), Simple3D (not free) or a similar program and run the .stl files through it in order to make them printable.

Be sure to watch a couple of videos on youtube about Cura settings. The stock settings are ok, but you still need to make sure you choose the correct printer, filament etc.
