@lusty beacon I'm not sure exactly why your message was removed on review: here's the original text so you don't have to type it out again. Sorry for the inconvenience it seems it was in error:

while it ships, been looking at getting
everything else ready to go. Been doing
lots of reading about it and it seems that
the consensus is that temperature can play
a huge role in resin performance. As the
setup will be in my garage which can be as
high as about 35C and as low as about 2C
(Canberra, Australia, for the record) I've
been wondering about heating solutions.
I'm a bit reluctant to spend a huge amount
of money on a designated printing booth/
enclosure, as I've not even done a single
print yet. Lots of DIY solutions exist it
seems, and while I'm great at construction,
I'm dogshit at electronics so worried about
wiring anything up, even basic fans and
controllers, ect as I'm terrible at it. My
actual setup space is also very small, and
in the middle of a room, so can't be easily
vented without something like 4 meters of
ducting, and will barely fit anything that
isn't custom made for the space or quite
tight to the printer.

Something small like a space heater inside a dresser with your printer would work fine. The most important part is about not having it too cold when you start printing. After you start, it's likely the machine can keep itself relatively warm.

#

For a safer alternative, there's also oil radiator space heaters that you can trust to be fairly inert in terms of risks

#

If you have a need to vent the fumes because you're in the same room but can't actually vent the fumes.. you're kind of fucked

#

the options will be: getting that long ducting, getting a really good filter, or not being there
