Mintemp errors ruining prints!

Hi all,

I assume this is a result of the weather shifting slightly, but I'm finding I can't complete more than a few hours print as I get a darn 'mintemp error' which unhelpfully screws up every print.

The Prusa manuals state you should make sure the room is more than 20C - is this really the case? We generally heat our house to around 18-19C - is there any way to override this or avoid it ruining prints?

RE: Mintemp errors ruining prints!

The area around the printer needs to be warm, not necessarily the entire room. You can locate the printer in an enclosure or rack which should help retrain heat as well as reduce cold drafts. A temporary enclosure made out of poster board or a photo tent will also help.
