“It’s just a …” Is a redflag to me, project’s going to be a gongshow.
I find that mentality of not trying to understand the problem and its context totally counter to the engineering method.
I’ve found it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer as well as colour, some of the petg I’ve got has been chilling in my cabinet in the garage for at least 1 summer and it prints fine, just some stringing, other spools they’re a mess right out the bag. Still worth drying filament, but more so stuff like nylon which is extremely hygroscopic.
