      The filament sensing docs (https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Sensors_filament) say: "For all firmware versions, note that filament monitoring in RRF is only active when printing from SD card." We are using an E3D Toolchanger controlled by DWC. Would we be able to add filament sensors and still use DWC, or would we be forced to print from SD cards?

        When you print from DWC the print jobs are uploaded to the internal SD card. So you're fine. The only time prints occur without the SD card is when they are sent from a gcode streamer over USB, like Octoprint, or direct connection to a PC with Simplify3D, for example.
