Left: I opened a sealed roll of a filament purchased in 2018 and I printed that rose

Right: I dried that filament in the creality dryer overnight and sent the print again

This pic was taken on 10th April. After drying the filament I put it back in storage and I forgot about it until it exploded today

    I live in southern AZ where it is super dry. I never thought I needed a filament dryer. I got one anyways and it turns out I did need one. My print are so much better now. Would recommend.

      What’s your ambient humidity like? I’m up in CO and the ambient humidity for a lot of the year is less than 20% and haven’t felt like I need a driver yet, except maybe for new PETG
