Printer will not read usb drive

Hi there I´m a new owner of a mini + just got it this week everything went well until this morning when I found an object on thingiverse and sliced it and my printer will not read the usb stick, just comes up with a blue screen with many letters on it, if I remove this file from the stick it comes up with everything like normal  and all my other prints are there.

I just hope someone can help me I´m out of ideas

Best regards

Gunnar Már

Hi again I figured this out few minutes after the post, I used a special Icelandic letter in the name of the file on the usb stick and therefor the printer wouldn´t read it, changed the name and everything is back to normal 🙂

RE: Printer will not read usb drive

You had a corrupt file, a frequent cause is removing the device before the write process completes.  Gcode files are very large and transfer can take a while. We are so used to the speed of modern computers that we expect things to be instant...

Cheerio,
