RepRapFirmware-Obico

I am excited to announce we have a beta application/plugin to add Obico support to RepRapFirmware. With Obico you are able to utilize their cloud services or self-hosted solutions to watch for print failures. Obico is able to notify users and pause prints based on it’s detection services.

You can visit the GitHub repo here while we

Installation instructions are available at the GitHub site

I have also put together a YouTube video that walks through installation.

It is worth mentioning that while this does require a Raspberry Pi to host the app it does not require DSF(Duet SBC) to function. It can be pointed to a standalone printer. However, if you are running a DSF SBC printer you must be running 3.5b4 for this to work.

Looking forward to your feedback and hope you enjoy.

@Sindarius Great job ️

PrintMan

Great!
Does this help with management of all printers using RRF fw?

Sindarius

@PrintMan Depending on what you need in terms of print management Obico could help you.

The Obico dashboard allows you to start prints on multiple printers from one dashboard. Also the plugin fully supports their functionality of sending a g-code file to their server and it will upload it to the printer when you tell it to start a print. They also provide notification support based on the printer state (printing, finished, etc.)

While I would not call it a full featured print controller like DWC it does give you a good multi-printer central point.

@Herve_Smith you can run a self hosted solution and not have to pay the cloud hosted fees but you would have to manage the instance.

I have Obico Sever running locally on a Jetson Nano.

This means we can create our server and at no cost, right?

Sindarius

@PrintMan that is correct their server solution is open source. You can find more information here.
