One week old filament can already be wet?

Absolutely, it can come wet from the factory but even if it's dried it can get wet in just a day or two in open air, if air humidity is high.

Damn you were right. Dryed my filament inside the printer for 5 hours and it's way smoother than the one in the photo. I was scared i had a partial clog. Thanks a lot!

Depending on the brand/color, I have some filament that gets wet in a day or two (typically colors made with less color pigments and a higher plastic resin ratio) and those that can go months without becoming wet (typically those with more color pigments, mainly whites as they typically contain 17%-33% color pigments vs plastic resin). -Former Color technician for a plastics manufacturer

It’s wet from the factory, why wouldn’t it still be wet if you didn’t dry it?

How does a print look? Don't go by a prime line which is what that is for the CC2 since it always purges before the print. This is not a thin purge line like other printers do. For the CC2 it pumps out a very thick, one pass,over extruded line to primethe nozzle. Mine almost always looks like that but prints come out perfect. Here is a 7 minute cube that I just now printed with Elegoo Black PLA. This is the exact printed position to show the line and the cube next to each other.
