I knew it could get out of control, but turns out knowing is not experiencing it. It's just nearly 2 months since I got my first fdm printer and this is the result. 1 roll is finished 12 stacked to go.

Start looking for plastic containers, trust me

I got a clear plastic bin from Lowes and a huge reusable desiccant bag from Tractor Supply. They keep my filament perfectly dry. The bag is like 2 years old and I've never had to cook it to dry it out.

I bought one dryer. And I suppose I also need to acquire some desicants and big plastic containers.

depending on where you leave and the level of humidity you get, i live in south florida where humidity is crazy, so i bought this set https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-32-Qt-Gasket-Box-Clear-Base-and-Lid-Blue-Aquarium-Set-of-4/55778753?from=/search and i can store 10 filament cases on each, and what i put in there is this rechargable eva dry de humidifier https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS, just giving you some info of what it may come to you.
