It is not intermittent as if something is low quality within the card itself (this is in my case. I tend to not believe it is an issue with it being an inferior card because it happens EVERY time. I am using the SD card mine was shipped with. I've been believing it is an initialization issue with the firmware within the system itself (I think Qidi uses modified sailfish) and have not had an issue yet just hitting the select button until the models load up. When this happens I literally just hit the Select/OK button and hit it again right away and the files show up. I use an FFCP clone (Qidi Tech 1) and EVERY SINGLE TIME I put my SD card in I choose the 'read from SD card' option and EVERY SINGLE TIME it says 'SD card read error'. My biggest question is - what is the current, modern, proper format? I've read FAT16 - that is ancient, right? Also - it there a size limit (4GB, 8GB etc.)? Is there a limit to the size of file names? Any restrictions on special characters? (I use underscores sometimes).Īny advice and feedback would be greatly, greatly appreciated. But if the problem is the card - why does it still work on my computer? Anyone ever encountered a card that works on a computer but not in the printer? I'm using the one that came with the machine,and it astounds me that it can bake so often for so long and still work. The obvious suspect here is the SD card itself.

However - if I turn off the machine, put the card in when it's off and turn it back on, it works. But now it has gotten to the point where if I remove the SD card when the machine is running, and then put it back in, I get the 'SD card read error' every time. When it first happened I just deleted the most recent file I'd added, added it again and it worked. My SD card worked fine for months - then I started to get 'SD card read error' reports. I really hate to ask you another SD card question, I'm sure they come up all the time, but I see conflicting reports and old reports when I search - so I really hope someone can help with up-to-date info. Hi Folks, as some of you may remember from a few months ago, I am using a Flashforge Creator Pro for a project with an extremely difficult deadline.
