I just got an Ender-3 V3 KE and am currently keeping it in my garage until I can free-up space inside. My question is how cold is too cold for the printer to be okay if not in use and powered off?
I know that temps matter if I am using it (and for the filament in general). But the little bit of searching I have done focuses on the printers being powered on and in use.
Currently the past few days have stayed above 5c due to some very warm days. Just want to not damage anything while not being used.
It should be fine to well bellow freezing, you just want to make sure it heats back up slowly(ish) and try to prevent condensation. Most electronics is rated to -20°C for storage.
Worst off maybe the belts don’t survive, but that’s unlikely. Remember this stuff get transported all over the world in barely conditions planes and vans. Left at the doorstepzof houses in Canada at -30°C.
Thanks for the reply! Would have been pissed if I bricked it thinking it would be okay without asking around.
