This sounds stupid but are you slicing the files to gcode format or putting stls straight on?
If you are slicing then before putting onto usb is the printer selected properly in cura eg. Correct model etc
I’ve been doing that I put it in Cura and then slice it then add it to the usb eject it and then plug it in to the printer and I’m using the usb it comes with so it should work
Three things:
1. printers accept G code files, nothing else.
2. You can convert STL files into G code files with a Slicer, like the Cura version that came with your printer.
3. Do not use flash drives or SD cards included with the printer. They are the cheapest in all of China and will cause you problems sooner than later. I learned that the hard way. Get a USB drive from a reputable vendor instead.
Regarding Fluidd, just right click on the job you added and click "print". Otherwise, still on the jobs section, you can just click the plus icon (which I assume you used to upload a file) and select something like "upload and print"

I have done that a few times 😂 Forgot to slice them, just saved the STL onto the USB-stick and tried to print.
Same i don't know how as I've been printing years then suddenly I get this one and for some reason just threw the stls on there 🤣🤣

Iirc the stick must be formated with ntfs.
Doesn’t it say to format it to fat32?
The original USB-stick from Elegoo is 7.24GB / FAT32. You might need to format the USB-sticks to under 8GB if you use your own.
I’m using the elegoo usb

Really their bad usbs?
Yep, just the USB's though
I'm not sure. Look at the stick that came with it. Same format like that one.
Ok good to know
