Temperature Limits for Shapeoko Storage

The machines have a lot in common with the starter on a car — but are expected to work to far greater precision — extreme temperatures will affect calibration if nothing else. The belts have an operating temperature range of −30 to +180° F. The ATMEGA328 chip on the controller is rated from −55 to +125° C. The lifespan of electrolytic capacitors will be reduced by higher temperatures. Thermal expansion/contraction will affect calibration — the ideal is to always have the machine at the same …
