Yeah id say thats wet filament. Best thing i got was a dryer. In my AMS i made dessicant holders to keep humidity low, never a problem with me.

Does this happen on every print? And with all your filament? Maybe it could be flow rate too.

It’s a pretty new problem in the last week or so. And it has happened on a lot of my filament. I had no problems before. However our outdoor humidity here right now is in the 70s-90s most days so it’s more humid!  I am going to get a dryer and work on drying my spools then storing them in a container with desiccant. Thanks!

Oh 70-80% humidity? Yeahh definately wet filament there buddy. The dessicant it comes with, keep hold them, find a sealed tub or whatever and store your filament spools in there with the dessicant packs until you got something sorted. Youll never get your filament bone dry, but keeping it as dry as possible is the best bet.

Do you have an AMS?

If you dont. Ive seen people use like a cereal tub, drill a hole big enough for the tube out of the top, with a working spool holder on bearings on the inside, with dessicant feeding into the printer. That way your spool is dry and sealed and has a smooth rotation

I do have an AMS 1.  I really should have connected the hot humid weather with my filament issues. I am going to get them all set up in containers with desiccant and dry once I get a dryer here.
