Hit 'dowel', resize to the size of your pins, and then just don't print/delete the dowels it generates

I found it. It only shows up on mine AFTER starting a cut. I must choose the object, then choose the cut on plane (bed) option and only then will it have advanced options which include dowel and a few other joining tricks..... even dovetail???
OK, after a beautiful print of a difficult set of all-in-one-go pirate pistol, I realized I had failed to set the top z setting to 2.5 or above and am now looking at hours of support removal, sanding and repair.
TIME FOR A PERMANENT SETTINGS UPDATE AND OVERHAUL
I will be putting top and bottom z heights at 2.6 but will also make gyroid the default infill. I will post steps when I have a solid process.

The after the print pinning will be coming into play on this run. I was too pressed for time to figure it out pre, so post it has become:
quick and dirty 2d 3d conversion with a swap out of the lock for the one I designed earlier. Just taped to show size.

Just pulled the new 2.6 off the bed and far less work and now only minor sanding instead of damage repair.
I am going another run at 2.75 which is the number proposed in one of my video how-to finds (not me but someone I found doing a top ztest). But 2.6 was just leaps ahead of 2 (the default setting) for ease of removal on supports and quality of surface after. I also intend to do a standing run with no trees where all cut surfaces touch the bed. I was avoiding this due to my recent failures with knock over collisions.

That's actually not bad at all
With the proper clean-up and a good paint job, it'll do just fine!
This is my new friend for chunky pieces..
Leg flairs
I was just testing as I want to spice up the details. I didnt want to spend $100 posted for Alluminium ones soI was going to add a washer to make a spacer/point of interest to the part and obviously higher to its top as it sits in a belt.

Printed a bunch of stuff successfully
Once in a while issues with a bad file but for the most part it’s been good
Came home to this error message
Cleared it
Reformatted the drive
Started to work and same message came back up
Elegoo Neptune plus
Not even a year old but pretty close to it
Any feedback or pointers will be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance

Corrupted file or card ?
Bad STL file ?
Did you reset the printer or carry on with existing print, maybe reformating the SD deleted the STL file I would have thought ?
First out of the gate is the drive may be corrupted. I have not had this error on my printer yet but have had it plenty of times for computers, phones, tablets and other devices using flash memory (SD, TF, compactflash, many names).
They have a limited life.
Sone die due to a high number of repeat overwrites, perfectly normal. Some die from heat when in a harsh environment.... left under a pillow or blanket like insulated area. Some die due to extreme abuse, dropping and the like. The tiny ones, sd cards and similar, just fracture physically and sometimes only internally and cannot be seen.
You can try checking the connectors where the drive connects. If it is internal to your printer (a sign of a very nice printer) then it will be far more in depth to fix it but for the others, I advise using new memory as a test.
I have never had this happen- I have been printing 1 part each day- longest about 14 hours. This isnt a year old. No matter what card I put in there, this happens. Its on a surge protector and there wasnt a surge or anything to cause this .
all of the above. 2 cards reformatted. I already printed that same file--I need 4 of them total. No issues with any of these files. Its for the Ark and a few have used the exact same ones without issue--weird
Ya, not cool. We can certainly check the error code list just to make sure we aren't assuming SD means memory failure. An easy misstep if true. But if it is memory, I would first blow out the port, test, and then move to contact cleaner and test again. Be cautious on cleaning as contact points are easy to do wrong and would only advise physical rubbing if you are certain of the contact type and are gentle....like, to the point of only do so if you find a vid about how.
Might be a really good excuse to contact support.... that sucks but maybe since it is such a rare error.
actually that part makes sense, memory errors do actually work that way most times.
If it is a contact issue, it can be truly intermittent to the point of madness but is normal, not rare, just how it goes at the point of almost being not contacting. Dust will do the same, very intermittent.
Not likely if it is multiple cards used with the same error. Still possible but now less likely due to multiple trials.
I have seen issues like this on computers using cards that were cold when inserted but heated up over time, after insertion, causing disconnects. The kind of intermittent issues that would cause any sane person to think they were cursed. If shorter prints work fine and longer ones do not, both from the same card, it is possibly a heat over time issue.
Other things that can cause this type of behavior is dirty power. Lights flickering, same circuit as the kitchen microwave, etc. drops the usb type connection almost immediately.
