I have seen lots of different projects for storing filament when not in the AMS, but most are open shelving. Given that many Bambu filaments now recommend drying before use how are people actually storing filament?
I am using Ikea 10l boxes with a hydrometer and dessicant in each. This keeps the humidity to around 10%. I am then not seeing any print issues. The downside is that they take more space than just reels on a rake.
Is there a ‘best’ option? without spending £100’s on a professtional cabinet.

I keep them in one-gallon zip-lock bags with desiccant pack in the centre.
I put that back in the original box and a cupboard.
If I see any moisture I then throw it in the dryer.
I have well over 200 filaments, I couldn’t possibly keep all of those in any other way. Far too much space and drying for the sack of it seems very wasteful.

I put them in a steralite-style bin. One with rubber gasket and snap closures. I put a couple small mesh bags of color change desiccant in there. And a hygrometer. I only put dry filaments in there. With the lid closed and only opening it for 20 seconds every couple of days I have never even had to replace the desiccant and my relative humidity stands at 10%. For me, it’s a super easy, super cheap and perfect solution.
