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?

      So you heat your ABS filament spool before printing to reduce warping later on?

        I set the heated bed to what I’ll print at and leave it on for that time, it gets the chamber temp up and stable, there’s some thermal expansion to worry about but I’ve seen mention that it can take longer than an hour to stabilise Ellis has a section on thermal drift
