Every time I try to contact the UtiMaker Ender Pro 3d printer community. I end up with the following error message  "403 Forbidden, Cloudflarde.  How do I contact the Ender Pro 3d printer community.

I have 2 SD cards. 1 is a 60 gb card. The other is a  is a 70 gb card. Both SD cards read just find and the files on them work just find.  When I plug in ether card in the 3D printer I end up with a error message "SD init fail"  The 3D printer has been boxed up for a bit over a year I finely got moved into a bigger apt and I Just unpacked the 3D printer and now  it is giving me the error message.

I'm moving this to the "Third Party Products" board since in your previous posts you've indicated you have an Ender-3 Pro.

 

For help with your printer you're much better off contacting Creality support or finding a community dedicated to your hardware like /r/ender3 on Reddit.

 

For what it's worth, I believe most older (and some of the more basic newer) Ender printers won't take an SD card bigger than 32GB since they can only read a FAT32 file system, but they prefer a card between 4-16GB because they work best with a card formatted as FAT32 file system with a sector size of 4096 bytes however many will work with 32GB cards but those require a sector size of 8192 bytes which I don't think is part of the official FAT32 specifications.

 

So try using an SD card 32GB or smaller (if you don't have one, they can be hard to find these days) and see if you get the same problem.

I also have found that only 32GB or smaller work on Ultimaker printers.  I don't know about Ender.

For a bit of history - the original Ender's (along with the CR-10's) were limited to 16gb memory cards and 16 character file names.

I still have and use the original 16gb micro card that came with my Ender 3 Pro.  It's in an SD adapter and that has probably helped to extend it's life.  It's an advantage not to have to push into, and remove, cards from the mainboard slot.

It's been a while but I think this is the "female SD to male micro adapter" I bought.

Did they care more back then? Because all of the (newer than yours) Creality printers I've gone through, the cards have failed within two weeks.

Did they care?  Of course not.  They failed in droves back then as well.  I figure I must have gotten lucky.

 

The only thing that had a higher failure rate was the pressure arm on the extruder.  100% failure rate within 1 month.  Some machines were delivered with cracked extruder arms.
