Just assembled my Prusa i3 mk3 but no SD card
Hello all,
I just assembled my new printer and ran all checks on it, everything passed and I was excited to do my first print. However, I didn’t get a SD card with it. What size SC card is it suppose to take, and I assume you put it into the LCD area. This was not covered in the directions.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, as I’m ready to print some items 🙂

I assume it’s a regular size SD card, what size does everyone use?
RE: Just assembled my Prusa i3 mk3 but no SD card
It should come with one, already inserted into the sd card slot on the left side of the lcd.
RE: Just assembled my Prusa i3 mk3 but no SD card
Mine was not inserted. It was in one of the parts kits. It has the frog and such.
I usually use plain vanilla Best Buy whatever is cheapest. I figure this is not a time-critical case. I usually use 16g for the printer.

I just ordered one off of Amazon, it will be here tomorrow. I ordered the Scan Disk 128GB extreme. Hopefully, it will work with the machine.

Hi Jmp470,
the Prusa can use up to 32Gb native,
I understand that bigger cards need reformatting, I have never done this
good luck.

@joantabb
Thank you for telling me the size. I canceled my order and ordered a 32GB one. I wasn’t sure how big the files for printing were, so I went with the larger size.

Been there, done the same thing...
I used the big card in my camera and got a smaller one for the printer
!
Once you get 100 files on a card (In a single directory, Prusa Printers have difficulty handling them
And you have difficulty finding what you are looking for...
I usually add an additional directory called Test, and I keep a 75mm test square for PLA, PETG and TPU, in that directory. (Life Adjust 'Z' My Way)
so they are easy to get to.
