How do you store your filament ?
Do you take any special steps to store your filament to prevent moisture etc ?

I thought about this a while back, but this:
I've never seen any print defects attributable to moisture, although to be fair my oldest filament is only a matter of 4 or 5 months old.
The problem would have to be reconsidered if I were to get into, say, ABS.
...made me decide not to bother. I store my PLA in their poly bags with the silica gel pouch, in its box (if it has one).bryant wrote: Tue Aug 29, 2023 1:43 am PLA filament is much less susceptible to moisture absorption.

Different filament types may require different storage conditions. For example, hygroscopic filaments like Nylon, which absorb moisture, require extra care. TPU or PETG filaments, on the other hand, are generally more resistant to moisture but still benefit from protection against humidity.
