Prevent MINTEMP plugin
I have my Prusa MK3S in an un-heated garage. During the winter the ambient temperature routinely drops below 10C. If the printer is sitting idle (not printing), the tool and bed temperatures also go below 10C, and this triggers the MINTEMP error, which puts the printer into an error state and it needs to be re-started before printing anything. This means I have to physically restart the printer before being able to send anything to it through Octoprint. This error is meant to catch a faulty thermistor issue, but it seems unnecessary to do this when the printer is idle, and also 10C seems like a very conservative threshold (my understanding that a truly faulty thermistor would some give something like -29C).
To address this issue, I created a simple Octoprint plugin that monitors the tool and bed temperatures and re-heats them if the temperature hits a certain threshold that’s close, but still above, the MINTEMP threshold. I use it for my MK3S, but assume it would work for other Prusa (or possibly even non-Prusa) printers.
