I want to change the hot end to extrude at around 45 C. I will be changing the entire hot end setup, which will entail purchasing a new heater (and I think a new thermistor).

45 C? As in 45 Celsius? I think you must be mistaken. You mention 45 C twice in your opening post and I think if you mean 245 for ABS then that is likely too high for a majority of ABS plastics. Are you using specialty stuff?

The older Duet boards have 1K thermistor series resistors. The new ones have 4.7K series resistors. Either way, at 45C a 10K thermistor will give you more accurate readings than a 100K thermistor.
For the heater, I suggest you aim for somewhere between 10W and 40W @ 12V.
