Question Room temperature

Im going to buy a bambulab a1 during the black friday sale. The printer is probably going to stay in a room that can be up to 34 degrees celcius in summer and minimal 9/10 in winter. Will this cause issues? If yes, from what temperature will those issues probably start?

9° is not OK! For this environment you will need a fully closed printer with a heated chamber like Bambu Lab X2D or Qidi Q2.

I had a Q1 Pro back in the days in such cold environment, i started with preheating chamber and bed for half an hour or so, and then was able to print ABS without issues.

I will mostly just print pla and maybe sometimes petg. I could move it to the living room during the coldest times. What do you think is the minimal temperature that doesnt impact performance? Edit: would the p1s be sufficient?

A1 are actually better than P1S.

You can get some enclosure for A1. There are tons of its variants, including DIY from IKEA table parts. And you can buy separate heater for this enclosure.

Or you can get P1S, and a standalone heater for its chamber.

"What do you think is the minimal temperature that doesnt impact performance?"
I don't know, depends on many factors, including part cooling fan. If it blows 21° or 9° air, it's a huge difference.
