People are obsessed with babying their filaments; I’ve never met a problem that wasn’t solved by changing nozzle temp.

That's true up to a point especially with modern printers, but in really humid places you can see big difference.

Also people baby their printing plates, and models as well. For some applications it makes very little difference.

Lucky person that doesn't live in humidity. I been zip lock bagging my filament after every use. If I leave PLA out for more than a day it's the death of printing.

I live in a place with wild swings in temp and high humidity for most of the year. It’s just not a real problem. It was a decade ago, sure.
