We've been around, but since retiring and getting an electric car the ebike has not been used as much and I come by now and then but not as often.
Some people convert the Ender V3 to a Voron Switchwire. I don't know a lot about that conversion, the Switchwire is a bed slinger, but runs on rails instead of V wheels, and is designed for enclosing. It is a CoreXZ design so it moves fast in X and Z. It can re-use a lot of the parts from the Ender. At first I was going to build a Switchwire but later decided that the 1.8 would be better for my print farm due to more compact design, and then more recently the Trident came out replacing the 1.8 and brought some features I'd been waiting for. So I've switched gears and am collecting parts for the Trident.
In the meantime I'm wearing out the old Prusa MK3, I've printed many dozens of spools of PLA on it, but I want to move to ABS for a lot of things, so the Voron is interesting. The Prusa has been great but it is getting tired and I think it needs an overhaul once I get something else up and running. I'd like to have a minimum of 2 working printers in case one needs maintenance I still have one working to keep things moving along.
When filament is made it is drawn through water baths to cool it, and then they wind it on a spool and toss it in a vacuum bag with a dessicant. So it isn't necessarily very dry, and the vacuum bags aren't totally impervious to water vapor, so new filament needing drying is not too surprising, especially if it has been on the shelf for awhile.
I've printed mostly PLA and some PETG but haven't done ABS yet. I'm not really set up for that with the printer in the office. There's a mod for the Voron that adds a huge carbon filter and eliminates most of the ABS issues.
