To print from the micro SD card and Viki
- Format the micro SD card as FAT 32
- Rename the G code files using the 8.3 naming convention (PRINTOO1.gco) before you save them to the SD card.
- If you save a file to the SD card that does not comply to the 8.3 naming convention then you must reformat the SD card.
- Insert the SD card into the Viki
Starting the print
- From Pronterface –
- Click on the SD button at the top of the screen. A dialog box will open with a list of files on the SD card.
- Choose the file you wish to print and click start to begin the print.
- Remove the USB cable from the computer and allow Gigabot to print.
From the Viki
- Press the center button on the scroll wheel
- Rotate the wheel to highlight the Print from SD option
- Click the center button to choose this option

- Note: Using a Mac computer to transfer files to the microSD card will automatically cause the Fat32 formatting to become null and invalid.
