I’m getting into 3D printing, and due to the nature of my living constraints, I find myself with a large 12 ft x 20 ft non-climate controlled but clean shed from which to print. I bought one of these small microenvironment enclosures for my ender 3 pro, but temperatures here in the winter can reach the teens, and summers over 100 Fahrenheit. I guess my question is how much temperature can those micro enclosures account for when it’s extremely cold on the outside?
To add to the great answers of the others:
The enclosure will only help you to keep heat in, not to keep the contents of the enclosure cool.
If it gets really hot and you print parts that need a lot of cooling, consider opening or removing the enclosure (if possible).
I always print PETG and ASA with the enclosure doors closed, but I print PLA with the doors open unless the ambient temperature in my basement is very low.
PETG can be printed without an enclosure but it behaves a lot better when using one. Great material but it loves to curl.
