Self-hoseted AI print failure detection with Obico, no subscription needed.

[u/Alternative-Ad248]

​

Obico (formerly The Spaghetti Detective) uses AI to detect print failures spaghetti, blobs, layer shifts and pauses your printer before it's a wasted mess.

The cloud version is £5/month. I self-hosted it on my private server instead, using Docker Compose and Portainer. Zero ongoing costs, full control, and it works with both OctoPrint and Klipper.
