If you're getting nozzle clogs, then it's probably not necessarily moisture but dust being an issue. Dusty and dirty filament pulls dust into the hotend, and the dust doesn't melt so the buildup clogs the nozzle. I've made rudimentary wipes by stabbing the filament through some foam (the grey stuff you find in pelican cases) so that it'll clean the filament of any surface dust as it travels through.
For drying the filament, I set the heated bed to just below the glass transition temp of the filament, put the spool on and leave it there. There are some guides for other methods, but I haven't tried anything else so I can't comment on them.
Hmm I don’t see visible dust on it but maybe there’s just very light dust or it blends in with the grey filament I’m using. I’ll give that a try!
My last print it did eventually finish but I had to pause the print to do a cold pull multiple times.
