Set up SimplyPrint for Moonraker via CLI

To set up SimplyPrint for Moonraker without going through a UI like Mainsail or Fluidd, you've got to edit the Moonraker configuration file and add the [simplyprint] component.

The SimplyPrint component comes pre-installed with all newer versions of Moonraker, so you simply have to add the component to the config file like this:

  1. SSH into your Pi (or whichever device is running Moonraker) You can also simply connect a monitor and a keyboard to the device and interact with it directly.
  2. Update Moonraker First go to the Moonraker directory - often located in your user's home directory, so after logging in simply execute the following commands:
cd ~/moonraker
git pull
./scripts/install-moonraker.sh
  1. Edit the moonraker.conf file The Moonraker config file is usually located at ~/klipper_config/moonraker.conf. Depending on your printer, it may instead go by moonraker.conf, user.moonraker.conf, moonraker.generated.config, or a custom filename, edit whichever file Moonraker is actually loading.
  2. Add [simplyprint] to the bottom of the file
  3. Save and restart Moonraker:
sudo service moonraker restart
