17. Why Ender 3 is not detecting the SD Card?
1 min readJun 20, 2020
The SDCard that comes with Ender is not the best. So I swapped it with a much better one and used it in a raspberry Octopi. That turned out to be a bad idea. My Octopi often stopped working in the middle of the print.
When I try to use the card the came with Ender to transfer STL to Ender, I noticed that it is not being recognized. I did some searching and found that I need to use an app called ‘SD Card Formatter’ which is available in the SD Association web site.
I was a bit skeptical to try this out, but it did the trick. Please refer to this video that suggested trying out this app.
Hope this helps!
