Moonraker Warnings Found (OpenNept4une)

Moonraker Warning

Moonraker warnings found. I have only ran into this twice so far. Once when I was doing the original install and just now today again, after a power outage. First I tried to update everything. Updated. No help, still has the error. Restarting didn’t do anything. Something must have gotten corrupted. If you head over to the OpenNeptune3D GitHub there is a solution posted there under the display_connector repository in the issues/bug tracker. I will also detail it here.

 

Moonraker warnings found

  1. [update_manager]: Failed to load extension display: It reports an invalid path for the option  virtualenv  in section [update_manager display] . The specified path /home/mks/display_connector/venv does not exist.
  2. Unparsed config option ‘primary_branch: main’: This is detected in section [update_manager display]. It suggests the option may no longer be available or could result from a failed module. A warning indicates this will cause a startup error in the future.
  3. Unparsed config option ‘requirements: requirements.txt’: This is also detected in section [update_manager display] and may no longer be available or caused by a failed module. A similar warning states this will lead to a startup error in the future.
  4. Unparsed config option ‘origin’: The text includes a URL: https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/display_connector.git, which is detected in section [update_manager display]. It may no longer be an available option or the result of a failed module, with a warning that this will cause a startup error in the future.

 

If you log into Fluidd and see this Moonraker warning message don’t worry, there is an easy fix. You will need to SSH into the 3D printer to run some commands.

SSH into the printer from a terminal on your computer/phone/tablet, whatever you are using.

 

After you login you should be in the home directory for the user mks . We need to change directories and enter display_connector to run the installer.

From the terminal type cd /home/mks/display_connector

Now we need to run the display service installer, which should clear up the issue.

Type ./display-service-installer.sh

Now you can head back to your Fluidd window and refresh the page. The issue should be gone now.

Spoolman on OpenNept4une

OpenNept4une Spoolman

Spoolman is a self-hosted web service designed to help you efficiently manage your 3D printer filament spools and monitor their usage. It acts as a centralized database that seamlessly integrates with popular 3D printing software like OctoPrint and Klipper/Moonraker. When connected, it automatically updates spool weights as printing progresses, giving you real-time insights into filament usage.

 

I just discovered Spoolman the other day by pure accident. Read about it quickly in a comment on some social media platform and instantly had to look it up. It looks pretty sweet. In the past I have never really needed much organization for my filament. I only had a few rolls of a few colors and did not print very heavily. Since getting the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max I have dumped rolls into the printer. I now find myself with a bunch of half used rolls of filament and if I want to use them I have to eyeball how much is left. Yes my spools have meter and gram indicators but that’s still a rough guess. Spoolman takes the guesswork out of it all.

If you have a printer running Klipper you can probably install and use Spoolman. If you have a printer like an Elegoo Neptune 4 with Klipper – you can’t. Elegoo did something to the firmware that makes it so you cannot update with the current versions out there. Nor can you update the boards OS without breaking things I have read. Moonraker needs to be updated to use Spoolman. There is a procedure I have found for updating Moonraker on the Neptune but I HAVE NOT TRIED IT. I posted it over here on my other post but I will reference it here also. This was my push to install OpenNept4une.

This is my guide/what I did to get Spoolman on my Neptune 4 Max with OpenNept4une.
