    It’s not that they are particularly loud, it’s that the noise they do make tends to be quite “whiney” and high pitched and can get quite annoying after a while.

    The problem with putting it outside is that big temperature swings (+/- 10C or so) could cause warping or other problems while printing - the plastic needs to cool at a fairly consistent rate, otherwise you end up with inconsistent sizing on your z-axis.

    Filament itself also doesn’t like moisture, so if you live somewhere where you get close to the dew point overnight you could easily ruin the whole spool of filament
