Hi,
press the centre menu button on the printer and go down the menu until you get to SD Card. Enter it (right button) and go to Unmount SD Card. Enter it and the remove the card. Clean the contacts on the SD card with a cloth. Replace in the socket on the control board, making sure that you press it right down and that it locks down in place. Go to the Menu again and select SD Card. Enter it (right button) and you should then have an option to Mount Card. Enter it (right button). The machine should see the card and the available options should change to show Unmount Card.
You should be now able to use the print file option and select the folder and file using the buttons.
Have you connected the printer to your computer using the USB lead yet? If so, and you have installed the drivers and software (including Repetier Host) as detailed in the PDF file on the SD card under software, then open repetier host and click the connect button. It should connect and see the SD card and read its directories and files which will be displayed in the log file at the bottom of the computer screen.
I'm told that sometimes the printer has problems with the provided cheapo SD Card. They always seem to read alright on a PC. Copy the provided documentation and software etc onto a safe backup directory on your PC, Put the cheapo card away somewhere safe and use a decent quality SD card to transfer files to the printer.
I don't bother to use the card to transfer files unless I want to use the computer while the printer is printing. USB coms on my system is certainly reliable for files up to 2 hours print time. I haven't used it on a longer one yet.

The elder scrolls v skyrim special edition workshop. Fixing A8 ANET 3d v1-5 Mainboard By Albert From Netherlands. And knowing that these boards (if still available a new version 1-7 is already selling) still cost around 26 Euro, this repair is very easy and worth buying the replacement driver IC's at the low price they sell at. Hello, Thank you for this instructable I am hoping to fix my anet A8 board that I managed to break yesterday while attempting to fl;ash it with Marlin 2.0. My question is can I use a 10pin to 6 pin converter to connect my arduino to the Anet as I feel it might be safer for me at my age (76) and with a shaking disability than attempting to. To connect your 3D printer to Simplify3D, select 'Tools Machine Control Panel' from the top menu. Simplify3D – Machine Control Panel.
I thought I should reply with what I have found after your wonderful comments to my original post.
Anet A8 doesn't connect to computer 3D Printers. anet a8 connection problem help. This is a tutorial on how to configure Anet A8 machine and print settings with Cura 3.2. Keep in mind that these print settings will vary depending on the co. V video maker.
Octoprint is wireless awesomeness! Online video editor easy. Even using it with the stock Omni Anet A8 firmware. I have a local network and it is wonderful to be able to log into a LAN web site and actually watch the printer print in real time from another location via webcam. No more SD card for me! Do be sure your sleep/power settings are long enough to keep interruptions to a minimum but so far after a week of running the printer 14 hour days, no problem. The idea of having a lot of files sitting in a watched folder ready to queue up is great. To make sense of all of this, do a youtube search for Joe Mike Tarranella. His videos really make it easy.
Bbedit 13 0 4 download free. I have a Ramps 1.4 card with stepper cards and LCD card on order and with my Arduino Mega, the plan is to set up Skynet on an alternative board setup so I can keep on printing until I am more sure of the new setup. The concern I have is that this Omni software they are so proud of, they give it to you in .bin files so you cannot even see the code, will also have burned something in the bootloader portion of the Arduino and putting Skynet on the main board will kludge up the main board? Anyone have experience with this?
