Mine is on my kitchen table and I print without the cover on.  I've printed equally as well with the sliding glass door open as I do when it's closed.  I have a 50 deg breeze blowing right across it and I still print fine.  I think with the cover on you should be okay.  I'm not doing anything crazy though.  Maybe the overhangs or .1mm printing would see a difference.

This seems to vary printer to printer.

If ambient drops 10C, you can expect the build volume to do about the same.

Anything that fits in a 3x3x3" cube should be fine regardless of temperature, the stresses aren't significant enough to split layers in my experience.

Right now I have my SD setup in a non-heated area of my workshop where the ambient temp could possibly drop into the 50's and I am wondering if it would be better in my home office area where it is warmer.

I know that I will have the issues of fumes in a living area but that is what windows are for. smile
