      I would like a simple filament runout roller switch connected to end stop to trigger pause.g but don't I read firmware only supports that printing from sd card. I have never done that and never will. I use web interface. Or does that count as sd card print?

        @sjason1377 Yes, if you upload and print with the web interface, it works. I installed a simple microswitch, and printed 10 almost empty reels this weekend 😉

          When you upload through the web interface you are uploading the file to the onboard SD card. It means to say that it wouldn't work if printing over USB.

            @sjason1377 If the file is uploaded to the SDcard (normally via the web interface) then the Duet has control over it and so can pause/resume etc. To use a simple switch as a filament out sensor see:

              @T3P3Tony the wiki page you linked seems to be a bit outdated.
              M591 supports many more filament sensor types now! https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M591_Configure_filament_sensing

                @resam the page did mention simple switches and pulse generating sensors. I have updated it to make it clearer by listing all the types on the page.
