You need an ESP board with attached SD card reader. There are many ways to do this but a WEMOS D1 + SD card shield or a TTGO-T1 are probably the easiest options.

You need to connect TX, RX, GND, +5V between your 3D printer motherboard and your ESP board. Since each 3D printer motherboard is different there cannot be one guide that fits all.

Here is one example for a Creality board: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNxE_v5G_bg

Your board will most likely be different. Some even include pin headers for the serial pins.
