I’m currently building a hobby workshop. Mainly for woodworking, but having a 3D printer seems to be a good add-on.

My workshop is unheated and can’t be fully closed, so Its dry but humidity will come in and it can get cold during winter (-5°C coldest, freezing is rare).

I don’t need to print under those conditions but storing the printer without damage would be necessary. Is this possible or rather not advisable?

Edit: Thx for all the answers, you are great!

    My printer (ender 3 V3 SE) has just finished its first winter a modern, but uninsulated garage (insulation on the ceiling but nothing else other than the cavities in the breeze blocks). I think it got down to near freezing, but not below.

    Absolutely 0 issues with the printer itself. I have had 1 spool of PLA go a bit stringy due to moisture, but it was just sat in a cardboard box; I made no effort to keep it dry.
