Starting a Print - SD card
Paragraph
- The Prusa Mk3 uses an SD Card, found in the front left slot of the printer.
- To start a print on the Prusa you will first have to have sliced your model in PrusaSlicer and should save the .gcode (the output) onto the SD card.
- If your own computer does not have an SD card slot, you can use one of the computers in the makerspace which does to slice or transfer the file to the SD card.
- Simply insert the SD card into printer and wait a few seconds. You can then select Print using the button wheel followed by selecting the file you want to print from the list of available files on the SD card.
- If you receive an error message, such as suggesting that the selected .gcode is for a different printer, do not print anyway as this could damage the printer - instead review PrusaSlicer and ensure you have selected the correct printer etc Seek staff advice if unsure.
