Yes, no doubt. But, that's another one of those "good habits" to get into. I keep my filaments in 5-gallon sealed restaurant buckets with 3" of desiccant in the bottom. Using a meter I got on Amazon, I know that the relative humidity is about 3% in them. By doing that I know that I can eliminate that variable from the diagnosis process. If you adopt a few really good habits early on, your 3d printer life will be much nicer.
