Not reading SD card

Hey guys,
I recently had to do a wipe of my computer and start from scratch and now when I click "Print from SD card" nothing happens. I have tried multiple SD cards, I have the newest version of S3D.... I am assuming a driver issue but when I go to device manager and right click on Rambo and try to update it (using the search automatically) it says I have the most up to date driver. Am I missing something? I know it is probably something simple!
Thanks guys.
Brandon

no worries! Yes, it prints just fine from USB. I found the Rambo driver on the makergear website, found out I had already installed it.... the wires are all connected correctly. not sure whats up. I don't mind printing from USB but thats where I usually get failed prints because I accidentally shut down S3D or something!

Ok open the elec bix and make sure the sd card is connected. If it is then its possible the reader is bad

the card reader is connected properly. It was working fine before I did my computer reset. I had this issue once before a very long time ago but I don't remember what I did to fix it.

Well, I plugged it into one of my USB 3.0 ports and now it works fine..... not sure that is what fixed it but it is thankfully working now! I am going to print a Saturn rocket to try and make a rocket "lamp" and it is going to be about 4 medium sized prints that will take about 6 hours apiece and I don't want to do it over USB!
If I ever finish the project I will post some pics on the showoff thread!
Thanks for the help!
