My Anycubic I3 Mega lives in the garage, and has made normal prints in sub 40F conditions. Two caveats- in cold weather you need to use a brim to discourage warping, and I did have to use my heat gun on the bed and hot end for a minute because the software thought the temp sensors had failed, and therefore would not allow the machine to heat up. This is a GOOD thing- It helps prevent runaway overheating and possible fires.
Is there a difference between these two Anycubic i3's I keep seeing?
One of them says "Anycubic i3 Mega" on top: Here

The other just says "Anycubic" on top: Here

Is there a difference between the two?
I have a MP Mini V2 and its a decent machine, just has a smaller build plate.
I also have a Anycubic I3 Mega that has been a great machine.
I’ve used a couple of the other monoprice printers, but that’s it. These have been great out-of-the-box printers for me, but they are limited by your knowledge and willingness to spend time to dial them in for anything other than PLA. I struggled trying to get my I3 running PETG, but ultimately didn’t have the patience so I’m back on PLA. Going to give it another shot soon since I know it can do it.
