Cura "Failed to save" to SD Card on Mac OS X 10.7.5

Posted · Cura "Failed to save" to SD Card on Mac OS X 10.7.5

Hello,

I recently received my UM2. I have printed many things from the provided SD card, as well as one model I made myself, and I am amazed at the quality of this thing!

However. . .

I'm having some serious problems with Cura. Most of the time, when I press the "SD" button to save my gcode to the SD card, I receive the error "Failed to save." I have only been able to upload a single model to the SD card.

So I guess you could say that "sometimes it works," but so far I have no idea what is causing it to work, or to fail.

I'm running Cura 14.09 on Mac OS X 10.7.5. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks all!

Walter

Hi Walter,

Normally when I have that problem, it simply can´t save. Two reasons I figured out:

 

  1. SD card is full (found some very old 32MB cards, they work fine but only enough space for 1 or 2 models)
  2. Ejected the SD card too many times without safely removing before. Go to the disk utility program on your mac and format the SD card. That´s it. Mine worked fine afterwards.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Philip

    I have the same problem on my mac.

    Workaround:

    Repeat the storage process by clicking on the SD button a second time. Then eject the card, the program tells then, that the card can be removed.

    So it is not a severe bug....

    I have the same issue. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it works. Clicking the button a second time doesn't work. And reformatting the SD doesn't work.

    Opening Cura with the terminal showing displays this error.

     

    Traceback (most recent call last): File "Cura/gui/sceneView.pyo", line 361, in _saveGCodeIOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Volumes/WILSON TS//Downloads/stand.gcode'Traceback (most recent call last): File "Cura/util/sliceEngine.pyo", line 169, in submitInfoOnline File "urllib2.pyo", line 126, in urlopen File "urllib2.pyo", line 406, in open File "urllib2.pyo", line 519, in http_response File "urllib2.pyo", line 444, in error File "urllib2.pyo", line 378, in _call_chain File "urllib2.pyo", line 527, in http_error_defaultHTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

     

    Looks like it's including part of the path that the original file belongs to resulting in a broken path that points to a folder that doesn't exist.

    Just in case anyone is having this problem out of-the-blue, I was experiencing it and just before I was about to format the card, I checked the little lock switch on the card. It had somehow moved slightly from its unlocked position. Turns out, that was what causing it. I'm assuming it moved during the multiple times I would fumble plugging it into my Mac. Hope that helps somebody :)

    Check if the SD-card is locked. Worked for me.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
