[sudo-discuss] sudoroom 3D printer is working!

[hol at gaskill.com]

Jake I have printed 100% of the time from that machine from SD card with 
excellent results after minor setting tweaks.  Sorry if you have not had 
good luck.  Does the new firmware disable this feature or make it more 
difficult?

Either way thank you for putting in the time to fix it and I'll happily 
use either method going forward.
