RE:

In the manual that came with your printer, section 15.3 describes the following.

--

15.3 MINTEMP

The MINTEMP error occurs when at least one of the temperature readouts of the hotend orthe heatbed drops below 10°C.

It is a safety feature that prevents the printer from overheating in case of a faulty thermistor.

You should avoid having the printer near an air-conditioning unit or in a garage, where the ambient temperature might be below 10°C.

If you know this, why are you placing the printer in a room that is not suitable for it.

You cause the problem yourself, and want Prusa to just fix it by modifying the firmware, at the expense of security.

Seems very strange to me.

I just checked the specifications for my HP LaserJet printer, and found:

Operating environment
Make sure to operate the printer in areas with temperatures and humidity levels that fall within the following parameters.
Operating temperature: 15° to 30° C (59° to 86° F)
Recommended operating temperature: 17° to 27° C (62.6° to 80.6° F)
Recommended relative humidity: 10% to 80%

So its requirements are even more limiting than the MK3/MK4!

It's *very* normal for equipment to specify an acceptable operating environment. To remove any confusion or false expectations, Prusa should do this on the specifications pages for their printers.
