GCODE File not recognized on the SD card
I added a new gcode file to my SD card today. When I put the SD card into my MK3S+ printer, it recognizes all the other gcode files saved on the SD card but not the new gcode file that I just added. I put the new gcode file on another SD card and got the same results, the printer does not show the gcode file when I go to the "Print from SD" option. I have recently been prompted from the printer that I should get the new firmware 3.10.1 version, but I have still been able to print recent gcode files with no issues. Why doesn't the SD card recognize the new gcode file?

What’s the file name ? If you use anything but basic character set then the embedded just won’t see it has it can’t handle the extended character sets. So a pc will be fine but your printer nope.

Are you sure the file you are copying onto the SD card is actually a gcode file?
Check the file on your computer to be sure. If you mistakenly copied a .3mf or some other file type, the printer won’t recognize it.
Look at the SD card on your computer as well and make sure the file extension of your newly copied file matches the file extensions of the files on the card that the printer does see.

Yup. That was the problem. Thank you so much for your help. It was driving me crazy.
RE: GCODE File not recognized on the SD card
The problem was a bad file name that the printer didn't like. The gcode extension was correct though.
