new machine setup help

I have finished the physical build of the machine, and now at the setup step of the software. I've put the SD card in and turned on the power.

This loads the screen: "Hi I am your original Prusa 3D printer would you like me to guide you through the setup process?"

I click yes, it switches to a screen that says "Original Prusa i3 Prusa Research" and does some whirring, very briefly flashes the message "sorting files..." then stops whirring and flashes back to the

"Hi I am your original Prusa..." screen. I've tried this a few times, it is stuck in a loop and won't load the files.

Any suggestions for what I can do next to try to move beyond this point? Thank you!

You don´t need the SD Card to setup the Printer. Take out the SD card, don a factory reset (youtube is your friend) and start over, without the card. The SD slot behaves somtimes weird (at least mine).

Good luck

Hi Mary, it sounds like you may be pressing the wrong thing. To say yes you need to press the actual knob in, not the X button? The X resets the printer and restarts it.

If you're still struggling - or are simply unsure - Josef does a very nice introduction video where he walks you through the setup process, step by step:
