A recurring hot topic within the 3D printing industry right now is whether or not it's truly necessary to dry out spools of filament (material) prior to initiating a print. Some believe that wet filament is nothing more than a myth, but from my own experience in testing some of the best 3D printers on the market – I can confirm that working with damp filament is a very real issue that can result in poor print quality.
Thankfully, there are several solutions available to tackle damp filament, and I've been beta testing SUNLU's latest AMS Heater, which is an upgrade specifically designed for those who own Bambu Lab 3D printers with AMS (automated material system) units, like the X1 and P1 series. The heater is available to preorder now, with orders expected to ship out in October and November.
