No matter what I do, I can’t get to accept SD.
Funny thing is, if I insert SD and start Repetier and select SD at manual window. I get an overview off files on SD and can start print.
No matter 32Gb, 16Gb, 8Gb or 4Gb same problem, at stand alone no files on SD.
I insert SD and pres reset, then use thumb wheel and get NO SD present.
Please HELP I want too set it up in STORE display tomorrow!
You need to plug in the SD card and choose ‘Init SD card’
Why would you reset the printer?
Cheers,
Dylan

Hello Hudibras,
I’m using Vertex3D printer stand alone. I try to explain:
1- My Vertex3d printed “not connected” to the computer.
2- I put sd card to built in card reader in my computer.
3- I open Repetier-Host.
4- Load a *.stl file.
5- I slice it with in Repetier-Host built in Cura slicer.
6- I choose G-Code tab.
7- There I choose save G-Code symbol.
8- I save G-Code to the Sd card ( in my case E: drive)
9- Then I remove Sd card.
10- Plug sd card to the Vertex3D printer.
11- Plug printer cable to the wall outlet (230 volt)
12- Then choose on the printer “init sd card”
13- Then choose “Change sd card”
14- Then choose “print from sd”
15- Then you will see G-code file what you saved before in your computer.
16- Choose this file then it will start to print stand alone.
All this steps takes 5 minutes + printing time.

Does autoprint work?
Thanks

Hello Max,
I had some times difficulty to get sd card working. Then I found the case opening for sd Card Input from the Vertex3D and sd card Reader module was not overlapping right, I grinded the Plexiglas case opening a Little and loosened screws that holding sd card reader and lcd module for overlapping better than before. After this alignment it works real good. But sometimes when I touch sd card then it looses contact, after I restart Printer it is again working nice. Because of this please don’t touch sd Card while printing…

It is so much easier with octopi!
it only requires a raspberry pi and, if needed, a usb wifi adapter, and for the timelaps/monitoring you can install a camera. Installing/configuring the software is very straightforward.
There is also software for your phone so you get a notification on the status of your print.
I’m currently using Slic3r and got the vertex connected to the raspberry pi through USB; octopi uses a key (API) that enables you to hook it up to slic3r. In slic3r you can select ‘send gcode to printer’.
I know Cura is the most recommended slicer for the vertex, but I get much better prints with Slic3r. Slic3r is simple my preferred slicing tool.
