Brand new roll. I unfortunately don’t have any way to dry it :(
You can use your heated bed, just set a temp and cover the roll with a box.

I’ll have to try that!
I would try what that other person said, that’s a great idea!
Anecdotally, I actually just got through half of a brand new roll today that I opened two days ago and it has been printing from a dry box and it started spattering from trapped moisture (you will find little chunks of plastic on your bed in past experience) so it’s in the dryer now haha.
Hope it works out!
ETA: I live in CO, USA and the humidity in the room where the printer is currently reads 70.4F/50% and the dry box reads 12% for reference, not much for it to soak up from the air.
