    Thanks for the knowledge you have given me. One question. Can you have more than one file on the SD card or do you need to clear it after the print? If you can have more than one file, how do you choose the one you want? Excuse my ignorance...just starting out.

    • @RCwithAdam1
      @RCwithAdam1  10 месяцев назад

      Oh yeah! You can have hundreds of .gcode files on the SD card (but that would get cluttered). You select the one you want to print using your printer's interface (screen or buttons).

    • @RCwithAdam1
      @RCwithAdam1  Год назад

      If the file is downloaded as a .zip file, you should be able to "unzip" it by right clicking and selecting "open" (or maybe "unzip") or by double clicking on the file. I'm not sure what you mean about "eject it to the 3D printer files". Do you mean how to get the .gcode files from the computer to the 3D printer? For that, you will save the .gcode file from the slicer and then move it onto the SD card (you can drag and drop it usually). Let me know if this helps.

    • @anthonysileci5121
      @anthonysileci5121 Год назад

      That will depend on the specific printer interface and firmware. But basically, you insert the sd card in the printer, then select the file on the printer's screen and press print.
