Comment on Modernizing an Ender 3
dack@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe architecture is a bit different than octoprint. Fluidd and mainsail are purely client side UI’s, while Moonraker provides the server side API for them to connect to. So any additional server side functionality would need to integrate with Moonraker - not Fluidd/Mainsail.
A lot of functionality that is plugin based in octoprint is core to Moonraker and fluidd/mainsail. Things like cameras, mesh bed tools, gcode viewer, UI layout customization, power device control, etc are all included.
Spool manager is not something I’ve personally needed or used, but this would probably be a good option: github.com/Donkie/Spoolman

Yeah, that’s what strikes me about Moonraker and its UIs: they seem more rigid and limiting than octoprint and its plugins ecosystem (I can spin one up in mere minutes to do pretty much anything), but those who love fluidd and mainsail them love them very much. I’d like to have someone explain to me why Moonraker is getting the lion share of the nerdier side of the community, it feels like I’m missing something obvious :)
