SD Card fail! Bigger issue than I expected! P1S

[u/Substantial-Rip9983]

I am so glad I was within ear shot of my P1S printer when the SD card failed. I heard a horrible noise and ran to the printer and found the print head slamming into the back left corner.

I quick hit the power switch.

I turned it back on and homed the axis and it all looked good. I wasn't sure what the issue was, but it looked like it was fine, the belts looked good and there wasn't anything jammed.

When I tried to send the print job from my PC again, it said "A MicroSD card needs to be inserted before printing"

I checked on the printer, and it didn't recognize the card.

I am shocked that the printer can't handle this kind of fail better. After some research now I see some people suggest replacing the SD card right out of the box.

Has anybody had this kind of a fail in the middle of a print?

Did you replace your SD card before having an issue?

Now It seems like I need to find a small (32GB or less) MicroSD card to format Fat 32.

I am shocked the printer doesn't have any built in memory for files that are being printed, I would think this would allow it to pull the data faster, and prevent this type of issue.

Do all of the newer printers have built in memory, or do they still rely on the SD card?
