![I got some new filament today [3000x4000 - 1MB]](https://pic8.co/sh/Zwku9e.jpg){kind=link}
"Some".
I mostly use hatchbox but part of that is it was what I bought a long time ago and got used to it. Any particular reason for your brand choice?
Oh, also, one of these comes in handy to keep things dry. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C2XZ7T31/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8

You should also probably buy some extra silica packs to toss into the bags before you seal and vac them. That's what I do anyway and I don't live in a very humid climate. I just have to run a humidifier in the house this time of the year.
Whoa, I looked at hatchbox. They are pretty proud of their shit. 26 bucks for plain white PLA. The Bambu labs is 20 bucks for a refill. (I print my own spools and buy refills mostly.) 23 bucks for it on a reusable spool but they have bulk discounts so if you buy 4 rolls it's 15 bucks and if you use a lot and buy 8 it's only 13. That's pretty good. I'm not ordering that kind of quantity but it's a much better price.
I don't know what hatchbox is but I will look it up. I use this brand because it comes on reusable spools so I can just buy reloads when I need it and also it is RFID chipped so I just put it in there and it auto loads and the machine knows exactly what it is, material and color wise. Streamlines the process. I never have to configure anything.
I got into the whole keeping the filament dry routine right off the bat since I am going to be moving to TX where it is very humid. The AMS unit has Desiccant pods internally and I also made more that fit into the empty spaces in the unit. I also print out spool cores that hold more desiccant and the AMS unit is nearly airtight so the humidity level stays very low in there. I have hygrometers inside and outside the AMS unit to monitor the humidity level. Outside the unit right now is 41% and inside is 20%.
When I am storing the spools I use the vacuum bags you're talking about and I have the spool cores full of desiccant in them.
Nice, sounds like you have it all sorted already then =) Should start some monthly posts of "Shit you should already know but might not". Maybe ill try to do that too.
The bambu ams does the rfid to assign profiles for the various filament, then tracks the amounts used to tell you costs and so forth.
