I'm expecting my garage where I print to get well into the 90s on some days this summer.

That should be fine. Cold temperatures are actually worse for resin because it slows down the curing reaction. I can't imagine you'd have problems at any temperature below maybe 120°F.

One addition- sunlight is very bad for resin printers, so if your garage has windows or you routinely keep your garage doors open keep this in mind.

Cool. Thanks for the reply!

Is it heated? It's not particularly hot today (26c outside, 31 in the garage) but with a heated bed in an enclosure I can easily hit 40-50c just as something to be aware of. I'm not familiar with resin printers, just as a heads up that things can get toasty quick in the garage.

The printing should be fine in terms of resin. But remember that prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can still eventually damage electronic components. I’d have a spare lcd screen just in case because you’re likely to reduce its lifespan if you ever get into the 100s.
