I stopped obsessively drying filament after learning it can become more brittle than wet

Most 3D printing advice about moisture starts with a real problem and then barrels straight past common sense. Wet filament absolutely causes headaches. It can pop, string, ooze, and turn a perfectly reasonable print into something that looks tired before it even cools. That part is true, and it’s why dryers, dry boxes, and dehydration charts have become standard gear for a lot of hobbyists.
