It’s not secret that 3d printers rely on heat, and that they need to have a constant source of heat. So, what happens when the temperature outside gets colder?
If you live in a temperate climate where the winter temperatures aren’t that different than summer temperatures, lucky you. You probably don’t need to do much, if anything. For the rest of us, we’ll probably need to make some adjustments.
I live in Texas, you will need to experiment for yourself to see what works best for your own situation, but this is what I do in the winter.
Set up my enclosure. Summers here are hot and the enclosure holds in too much heat. In the winter, though, I need to keep all the heat in so I put my enclosure back on. Turn up my bed temperature by 5ish degrees to help adhesion. I also include a G4 (dwell) command in my Cura start script to give my bed a little more time to heat up. Usually, 5 minutes dwell time is sufficient to get the whole bed at a stable temperature.
