How cold is too cold for storing in a garage? (lemmy.ml)

I just got an Ender-3 V3 KE and am currently keeping it in my garage until I can free-up space inside. My question is how cold is too cold for the printer to be okay if not in use and powered off?

I know that temps matter if I am using it (and for the filament in general). But the little bit of searching I have done focuses on the printers being powered on and in use.

Currently the past few days have stayed above 5c due to some very warm days. Just want to not damage anything while not being used.

Only watch out for condensation, temperature should be fine for well below 0C.

Also the act of printing in such space does not like it to be too cold. Your quality would start to fail. But I have successfully printed at 5C before and your ymnot trying to print there (yet... ) Another note is that your bed/nozzle temps are expected to be withing limits, mine can't be below 0 to start printing.
