Anyone have a link how to do this. Exporting G-code from slic3r onto an sd card and inserting that card into the rostock, the LCD says SD card inserted..yea. I've looked in the Rostock documentation section and didn't find anything. I looked in the Rostock pdf manual, nothing there. A link or something would work if anyone has the time. Thanks.

Try renaming the files on the SD card to all capital letters (no more than 7) with no extension.
For example if the file name is airplane.gcode rename it to AIRPLAN and see if that works. Some of the revisions of firmware require this naming convention.
If you still have problems please let us know.

I've had the printer for a long time now and never knew the dial was a button as well. Never had to print with the sd card, never tried. I navigated to sd card and hit print. The LCD displayed all three of my different named prints. Thank you.

make sure your gcode is formatted correctly with capital letters and no host commands
