     I just bought a filastruder(not received yet). My purpose is to extrude PEEK.
I have contacted Filastruder support via mail to inquire about the changes that should be made to extrude PEEK. Along with thermocouple, he told me to change power supply to LRS-150F-15, which rated for 15V. Also he warned me that, the gear motor is rated for 12V, so giving 15V will reduce it's lifespan.

To avoid overheating of motor, can I use two power supplier. 12V to run motor and 15V for heater.??
Do I have to use any other converter module to use thermocouple (E3D) rated for 1100 Celsius to use with Filastruder?

Thanks
