New territory for me, so I look to injection molding parameters of PP/PE.
To reduce warping the mold will open when the parts cool to ~130F (54 C).
So that is one temperature that I'm keeping in mind.
This puts us at the max temperature for the extruder stepper motor (50 C).
The stepper motors for the arms are out side of the heated enclosure, so they are a non issue.
So you only need to manage the heat for the extruder motor which I think you can do.
If you're planning on using PLA components, you might run into creep issues.

PLA softens ~50C, melts at ~ 160C, extrudes and bonds well at 180C-190C.
