I watched a 3D printing youtuber say that Adam Savage said 20% but 10% is what he uses.

I have never seen my sunlu dryer show anything bellow 23% even after days of use and I have no idea how to achieve 10 without cooking the filament.

I store my PLA and PETG in the bags they come in and have never done anything past that because I've never had an issue. I think people are far too concerned about filament being dry over a few filaments where it is actually important like Nylon.

It depends on what you print. I print a lot of small things with intricate details and I absolutely notice when spring and summer rolls around and the filament gets wetter.
