I found when doing ABS during the summer a year or two ago that with the sunroom location sitting at about 32C the ABS came out nicely without any issues. I had the sliding door open to the outside for venting. The door is almost right by the printer. Odour was not a problem. But, later in the afternoon on a 4th printing of the same object, it cooled outside a bit and the wind picked up. That slight breeze across the printer was enough to essentially spoil the 4th print. So it's not might want a heated enclosure. It's really a must have heated enclosure.
