do you think my mk3 can print outside?

it's fricken -25 f here (-32 c). I wonder what would happen.
my guess is nothing would get warm enough and just clog the nozzle.

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

good gods it would be so bad if I didn't have to goto work. I think I have enough filament to last me a few weeks 😀

Could actually be cold enough for the crystals in the LCD crack and leave patches of the screen permanently turned on.

Can't say I'd recommend it!

Maybe some low-temperature resistance testing on some different filaments? Wonder if flexibles would get brittle in that...

I think you should get the barbeque on as well, a nice rack of ribs and ice cold beer. - Damn, this may be the first time you actually need to warm the beer to drink it! 😯

Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

I'd expect the steam from the hot tub to cause problems.

I have visions of toaf placing his printer on a table in the middle of the hot tub trying to stop it freezing, then this comes to mind ! 😯
