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.

    yeah most all of them are good to -30c easy, as with most electronics, just make sure it stays dry and let it sit inside to acclimate for a few hours before you turn it on.

    when very cold rubber and wire insulation might crack if moved, but sitting stationary it’s fine.

      Thanks! I will definitely make sure to give it a chance to get warmed up slowly before my next print. Once the space frees-up in the house, the next step will be putting an enclosure together for fumes (and get a dryer/heater for filament).
