2 Install Moonraker-Obico

cd ~ git clone https://github.com/TheSpaghettiDetective/moonraker-obico.git cd moonraker-obico ./install.sh

3 Follow Setup Wizard

During setup, you will be asked to enter a 6-digit code to link to your Obico account.

# Wizard questions: # - Moonraker URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:7125) # - 6-digit pairing code (get from Obico web)

4 Configure Camera

If using crowsnest or mjpg-streamer, camera is auto-detected. Otherwise:

# Edit ~/.moonraker-obico/config [webcam] snapshot_url = http://localhost:8080/?action=snapshot stream_url = http://localhost:8080/?action=stream

⚙️ Moonraker Integration

Add to your moonraker.conf:

[update_manager moonraker-obico] type: git_repo path: ~/moonraker-obico origin: https://github.com/TheSpaghettiDetective/moonraker-obico.git env: ~/moonraker-obico-env/bin/python requirements: requirements.txt install_script: install.sh managed_services: moonraker-obico

💰 Free vs Pro

✅ Tip: For most hobby users, free plan is sufficient. AI detection only counts during active printing.
