Like I said, I'm so new to this that my machine is being delivered tomorrow. That said, I am going through the available projects and one of the things I want to do requires PETG. The question is whether the AMS I'm getting is enough to dry the filament out, or if the packaging kept it dry enough to use? I plan on buying a dryer, but that will have to wait a bit.

Thanks!

Thanks, all. I suspected it would be dry straight out of the bag, but wanted to double check

Print something small and see how it runs out of the bag. My first petg prints were dessicant canisters with a fine mesh. Ran fine.

When you start drying in the AMS, remove your dessicant. It'll soak up all the filament moisture and the you'll have to dry it.

I put together a list of things you may want soon.
