I could edit the firmware but I like this just in case there are thermocouple issues.
I can also point a heat gun at it for a minute.

If you’re cold, they’re cold.
Bring 'em inside, folks.
Unless resin, then becareful.
Or doomcube, those should probably be in detached buildings. Or you like to print filaments that are high on fumes and don’t have a great way to vent.
If it is too cold for the equipment, it is too cold for me.
This error is a nice indication for me that I need to turn up the diesel heater before starting the voron.
You can check what the value actually would read as if you unplug the thermistor (as that’s what it’s a protection against), and as long as you aren’t near that reducing MINTEMP should be perfectly fine. For example, mine reports something like -50C.
How cold is the garage?
~9C. The MINTEMP is 10C, I think. I heat it to 11C with a heat gun and it works fine.
Thanks. This will be useful to know in future 👍😁
I keep a hair dryer next to my enclosure to get it above the MINTEMP threshold, it’s really stupid, but it does at least work.
Yes, if the reading reaches 0°C the firmware turns off to protect against measurement failures.
There is probably a patch to chamge that temperature.
Honestly makes a lot of sense. The ink probably turns into a solid at too low of a temp.
This is a 3D Printing sub. We print with 215°C molten plastic. Putting the printer into an enclosure is usually enough to heat itself, even in subzero conditions.
