Defualt Min Extruder Temp is Problematic
In Voron2_Octopus_Config.cfg, and perhaps others, the default extruder min_temp is 10° C. If you store your printer in a cool, but not freezing, location, this can trip you up when the printer suddenly stops working in the winter.
Real-life issue I had (my config is customized, but the min_temp default is unchanged):
I don't think that's a problem. Most printers don't experience such low temperatures and for those who do the minimum temperature can easily be changed. The minimum temperature is a security feature to catch bad thermistors or wiring so I wouldn't change it in the default config.
That's an understandable position. The tricky thing is that it's not likely to come up while you're setting up the printer. Perhaps a comment pointing out that this default may not be a good value if you store your printer in a cold location would be the best way to address this?
Most printers don't experience such low temperatures and for those who do the minimum temperature can easily be changed.
In winter my printer reaches 6 celsius in room it's stored. I changed min_temp to 12 (matching my prusa mini) and heat up room until 12 has been reached, before turning printer on.
