    So how do I print from the SD card? I plugged the SD card that came with the printer into the side of the printer and I send the print to the printer via the USB but when I unplug the USB cable the print just stops. Is this feature not supported yet or how do I do this? Thanks guys!

    Depends on the software you are using.
    I have no idea how to do this with MatterControl, but with Simplify3D:

    -)upload to SD card (may take a few)
    -)Print from SD card (do not initialize printer other than turn it on)
    -)Select model on card to start print.

    You can then disconnect the computer if you want.
