Ultimaker 2 SD card specs?

[3dnerd 6]

Dear all,

I want to buy some additional SD cards for my UM2, but I'm not quite sure which one I should take.

The original one is a Sandisk, 4GB, SDHC, Class 4, UHS I.

But if I google for such specs I cannot find any, seems 4GB cards are no popular anymore. I only find some with higher class (typically class 10) or without UHS I.

So what is important?

- UHS I?

- Class 4?

Can I also take 8 GB or 16 GB cards since they are more popular?

Thanks for any help!

I'm pretty sure that mine printer was delivered with this one.

It should do the job and is quite cheap now.

Hi TinkerGnome,

this one I also considered. But on the one which came with my UM2 I can see the 'I' (capital letter i) on the right side of the SDHC symbol. This 'I' is the symbol for UHS-I Bus Interface.

And I don't know if UHS-I is necessary or not. Or if Class 4 is more important.

I am just not sure what to take since the same as mine I cannot find on the net.

Don't worry. I've double checked it. The sdcard that came with my printer (11/2014) does not show the "I". It's exactly the same model (from the link). So i'm pretty sure that UHS-I is not necessary.

The sd card reader support SDHC so you can use any SDHC cards you want. I have a 16Gb card and it run fine.

The trascend wifi sd does not work. No matter what format I use.

Yeah I have a Toshiba Flash Air with integrated wifi and it doesn't work... It does in my camera even if it as no support for wifi in the first place.

I guess its because of the way the card is accessed by the firmware.

EDIT: but the card works. Not the wifi
