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!

    Immediately, there should be little issues. The woodworking dust being the worst, it’s insidious.

    Long term, you will shorten the life of your printer some as all the components go from cold to hot. Will it be horribly noticeable? Possibly. I need to keep my machine shop at least at 50F/10C to keep the electronics functional and rust at bay over the long term.
