Solved: Ender 3 pro can’t read TF card

Friday, October 30th, 2020

When I received my Ender 3 pro I was excited to print the same models that came with the printer, but when I put the card in, it would not read. So I plugged it into my pc and it read the data fine.

So I copied all the files to a folder on my pc and copied all the files to a local folder. I reformatted the card and copied back the gcode files that I wanted to print and it worked!

3DSMax: Remove background image

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

So in 3DSMax it is sometimes useful to insert a background image usually when you are modelling
something and using the background image as a guide. There is no easy way to remove it. You
can reassign another image or set it to not display the background image, but this can lead to
problems if the file is moved or removed as it is still linked to your max file.

MaxScript to the rescue! You can use the MaxScript Listener(F11) to type in the following to
clear the background filename:

backgroundimagefilename=""

This will clear the entry for the filename. I have noticed that you do need to exit 3DSMax to
fully make the change complete.
