So tried out some PETG for the first time, and the first couple prints went really well. but I believe it's picked up quite a bit of moisture, sitting in the basement.

What's the current recommendation for a filament dryer? there was one on /r/3dprintingdeals a bit back, a Sunlu S2. is the S1 good enough, or should someone who's fairly recreational with everything spring for a S2? I see food dehydrators recommended sometimes, is there anything specific to look for in one?

I do something similar. I keep mine in large zip lock bags I got from Ikea with the desiccant packs that came with the spool. These spools then all go in a large Rubbermaid container (which holds 13 1kg spools) so they're doubly sealed and all packed neatly in one place.
