Overheating Risk
The Bambu Lab wiki suggests to only close doors and top cover for materials that need a warm print chamber (e.g. ABS or ASA). We have had clogging issues that may be related to printing in an overheated environment:
"When printing filament with a softening temperature below 60 °C (such as PLA, PVA, or TPU) and the heatbed temperature is set above 45 °C, it is recommended to open the front door and remove the upper glass cover plate to avoid the filaments get soft and deform under the squeeze of the extruder, which may result in abnormal extrusion or clogging."
The same is suggested for materials softening at 60-80 °C, such as PETG, when the buildplate is heated above 60 °C. [1]
This is a rule of thumb and is directly connected to the environment the printer sits in and the print duration: Make sure to open the door (there's almost never a need to take the top off) when doing long prints and/or with warm room temperature. But for short prints and/or cold environment the printer may be closed since too cold of an environment could lead to reduction in buildplate adhesion.
There is no distinct line to decide when to open/close the door and it's more of an experience thing so ask someone if you're unsure and assume the possibility of cloggs.
