Anyone has a link to those resealable vacuum bags?

What size is needed for spooled filaments roughly?

Probably something like https://a.co/d/1RiT0wX It takes 1kg spools.

Just want to add a comment for the beginners, I used to think this was silly and that I didn't need that much quality. Well my prints started failing horribly until I bought a filament dryer. That DOES make a LOT of difference. Also I bought a 1 spool dryer. I would go for the 2 spools now.

I prefer having two separate dryers so I can dry two separate types of filament at the same time, it's also more efficient if you only need to dry a single spool.

That's true. Having only 1 is not good enough for me. Sometimes I need to be drying 1 while the other prints

Thanks, good read. Which dryer does everybody use?
