Safe climate controlled enclosure
Hi all,
my MK3S+ is placed in my garage. As i live in the Netherlands, temperatures differ between -10 to 35 degrees celcius. Thus i am looking for a way to introduce a form of climate control to my (Lack) enclosure. There are a lot of hacks to achieve this but i'm not always sure of those solutions being safe enough (heat is a potential hazzard - if anything on the heater or its controller is malfunctioning, it has to shut down for sure). Especially when i'm not around (eg during 24h prints).
The most promissing solution i found thusfar is a solution where they used a Stego CSL 028 to heat and a controller used for heating reptile aquariums. If nothing else i would go for this option. However, i would like to operate the heater from octopi.
I am curious how others with the same need, solved this need? Moving the printer into my house is (sadly)not an option....

With an enclosure you will only need a heater before starting up in winter, it will maintain its temperature once running.
For overheating: hook up a fire alarm to an isolator.
Cheerio,

Maybe something like this might be an easy solution. It turns on a heating / cooling socket, when it reaches a set threshold

I ended up using a carheater. I described it here.
