Can't store the print job on the printer SD card (octoprint and cura)

    Not sure if I should post this here, on in the Octoprint forums or in the Cura forums...

    I installed on Cura the plugin to connect with Octoprint and be able to send the prints directly to the printer after the slicing.

    But when Cura tries to send the file, I receive the message:

    Can't store the print job on the printer SD card

    I'm imagining the first issue is related, maybe, with the permissions to write on SD.
    Also, maybe the problem with the free space.
    But, we know Robo R2 has internal storage, probably bigger than the SD card from raspberry.
    So... is there any way to fix this?
    Or maybe a way to upload from Cura directly into the internal storage of R2?

    There is nothing on the Raspberry Pi that Cura can write to other than the SD card. So you can try using a larger one (you will need to create an image of the one you have, burn it to a larger card and then tell the Pi to use the extra space).

    You will need to use SSH to connect to the Pi itself and then :

    and some more info for OctoPrint here:

    What about the 8gb storage from R2?

    That is still the SD card in the Pi, nothing specific to the printer.
    You CAN load a USB stick into the printer and use that for storage.

    So probably is a issue related to the permission?

    I honestly do not know. I am not familiar with Cura or where it would put the file. You can use an external USB flash drive plugged into the printer to transfer files to OctoPrint. Your suggestion sounds reasonable so if you can see where it wants to write the files on the Pi you can logon to it and set permissions for global read/write.

    Try using SSH and log into the RPi. Depending on the size of the G-code file which Cura is attempting to send vs the available space on the SDCard, you might be trying to save a file which is larger than the available space. The cure is to replace the SDCard with a larger size card.
