Offline File Uploading and Printing
Every Touchscreen is equipped with a MicroSD port which allows for offline
printing. The following guide details how to print via this method.
Steps for Setting up Offline Printing
1) Acquire a MicroSD card (or an SD card
with a MicroSD to SD extender). Verify
that the card is formatted as a FAT32 by
inserting it into a computer and checking
the properties of the card. If it is not,
format it as a FAT32 card.
2) Upload the desired .gcode file(s) from
Simplify3D to the SD card.
3) Plug the MicroSD card into the MicroSD
card slot on the bottom of the
touchscreen. When the card is inserted,
the metal contacts of the card should be
facing you.
If you are using an SD card and a
MicroSD to SD extender, plug the
extender into the printer and the SD card
into the other end of the extender.
4) Press the SD icon on the main screen of
the touchscreen. This will bring up the
files on SD Card 0, NOT the files on the
card that was just inserted.
5) Press the SD icon in the top left of the
screen to bring up the files on SD Card 1,
the MicroSD card that was just inserted
into the screen.
6) The screen should now display all of the
files on the MicroSD card inserted in the
screen. Select the file that you want to
print to start the print.
