I am about to put my printer into a heated enclosure. My printer is made of Geeetech parts (motors, Iduino board, Ramps board, DRV8825 Stepper Motor Driver Modules, Reprap LCD2004 smart controller display, S-250-12 12V 20A DC power supply, and MK8 extruder, all on a P3Steel frame. My question is, what is the maximum temperature these parts can work in. I do not need actual temperatures for individual parts, but I do need to know what temperature my entire electrical system for my printer can withstand.
Thank you,
Stuart

Re: Maximum Working Temperature for Printer
I too, want to know how much heat that the control box, and my entire Geeetech Prusa i3 pro Aluminum can take. I want be able to keep the printer environment much warmer than the room temperature.
I can mount my control box outside the enclosure if it needs to be cooler.
thanks,
Dave
If you don't know this answer then perhaps I can help a little. The PLA belt holder on my X Axis drive softened and became useless at about 45 degrees. I printed for about 50 hours with the X Axis belt glued to the blue plastic part albeit in a cooler environment.
BTW:
I printed another X axis gripper from black ABS.
