How do you manage your 3d printing filaments. Especially petg and abs. how do you store them and print. Do you have encloser or heated chamber to store your moisture sensitive filament?

Can’t speak for ABS or PETG.. I use only PLA (will try PETG in the future).
I just throw the open ones in an airtight box with silica gel packets I bought in bulk. Never caused any issues till now. I used to leave spools on my printer for long periods of time, and the moisture caused stringing. Now It’s not much of an issue.

Silica gel packets work wonders

PLA isn’t a problem, but PETG and TPU are very difficult to handle. I only have a Bambu Lab A1s, which has an open bed. I’ve printed an enclosure for it, but recently it warped and allowed moisture to get in, so I’m thinking about building a heated chamber for both the printer and the AMS to store them properly.

Using PLA, PETG and ABS presently. Keep them in air-tight resealable bags with silica gel when in storage. Also, use a filament dryer mainly for PETG and ABS as otherwise there is too much stringing.
