I am working on a printer build that would require having 12V X Y and Z stepper motors, but 6V for both of the extruders. Is it possible to decrease the output voltage of the onboard drivers for just two of them, while leaving the rest alone? If not, any suggestions on how to do it?

Hey guys, I am installing a Duet WiFi on an old Dimension Elite that I am refurbishing. I want to keep the original hotend and extruders, but they are run by a DC motor and encoder system instead of a stepper motor.

Any ideas for how I could control these? I doubt I can do it with the Duet alone, are there any daughterboards that may do this?

On my new printer build, I am planning on having it be 100% enclosed. My plan was to set up a temperature as the "heated chamber" temperature, and when the internal temperature reaches that, turn on a cooling fan, that'll draw out hot air, until it reaches the temperature again.

I know there is a page on the Duet Documentation on setting up an actively heated chamber, but I can't seem to find one on passives. Does anyone have any information or links that would help me with this?

I am leaning towards using the DuetWifi for a couple of printers I am building, and I just saw this on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2052721114/sentinel-3d-printer-filament-detector-and-cleaner/description. According to the page, it just needs an open digital pin (and I am assuming a 5v and ground pin). Would something like this work with the DuetWifi?
