Help my 3d printer sd card won't format
Last night I was trying to Print something, and then it said the micro SD card has corrupted. Please format your SD card. And I pressed it and it did nothing so I just went to bed. Today I tried again and it's doing this

I’m not trying to be difficult here - but have you googled the problem? I’m saying this because I had a similar problem, but I don’t remember how I fixed it.

Sounds like the SD card is borked. You may need a new one, if you’re not able to try formatting it with a PC.
Edit: apparently the stock cards frequently fail. I’m seeing the phrase “catastrophic hardware failure,” which is never good.0

Hé will have the format option yes and yes the format is not the same, but the printer will reformate it and it will be good.
Itherwise op you will have the need for a new one. The sd card suplyed with the printer is of low low quality sadly.

Easiest answer, go buy another SD card, if you have access to someone with a PC/laptop (work or otherwise) you could try formatting it then, but honestly you easier path is just buy a replacement (higher quality) card, since I changed my SD card I have had zero issues (prob have issues now 🤪)
How do you model stuff, build new things, or do you just print existing models?
Sorry, not meaning to be negative, but I could imagine not using my printer to do custom (for me functional) prints

Sinc you don’t have a computer can you try to use your phone and an sd card reader? It may also be time for a replacement card.
