Latest firmware 6.0.4 does seem to work well with high temp and enclosure

I was getting all kinds of random errors, tiles overheating, etc... The latest firmware so far has worked. Been able to print out my parts.

Certain parts use a filament that requires a high temperature and an enclosure. We are experiencing a heat wave in the Midwest. So not having a heater in the enclosure could be an issue in winter. Prusa would be great if you had a heater add-on with a temperature sensor that honoured the enclosure temperature setting in the slicer.

It is trivial to setup your own heater, buy something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083FJ7GKR/   have the sensor inside the enclosure with the switch outside, then add a small heater inside the enclosure. 

Another alternative would be something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XWTLVPV/   although as this does not give out a huge amount of heat you would need to consider whether the environment the printer was in would pull too much heat out for it to keep up.

That is my fall back. Right now it is not an issue. Point being it would be more convenient if Prusa integrated the heater and sensor.

Agreed, but on past experience at four times the price...
