Won’t print from provided SD card

I just got my mk3s kit in a few days ago and I assembled it with almost no problems. I’m confident that everything is in its right place. After I finished. I turned the printer on and ran the self test and calibration. Everything checked out ok. Then I tried to run a program from the SD card that came in the kit and I can’t get any of them to work. When I select one it goes through the bed leveling 9 point cycle, returns to the home position, and then lifts up goes all the way to the right and says remove filament. So I do that, go thru the steps to feed it back in and it goes back home, lifts up, goes all the way to the right and says to remove filament again. I’ve repeated this process several times in a row. No matter what program I chose to print, it does the same thing. Any help is greatly appreciated

You have the filament sensor connected wrong. On the EINSY side, make sure that the sensor is connected to the BOTTOM row of pins and also that the white wire is to to the left.

That was it. I had the plug reversed. The white wire was on the wrong side. Thanks so much. 😀

Re: Won’t print from provided SD card

Glad to hear it. I made the same mistake, which is why I suggested it. Most of the other posts on this issue just talk about the lower position, not the orientation.
