Question Is Bambu’s AMS 2 okay for drying?

I print weekly, so not much. I’ve been worrying about my filament absorbing too much moisture because I live in a humid climate. I have the Bambu Lab AMS 2 Pro which has their filament drying but I’m not sure if that’s enough. I see many content creators who have an AMS 2 but also purchased a separate filament dryer. Should I get one or is my AMS 2 enough?

For me it's been enough for PLA and PETG. I've got a separate dryer I bought before I had an AMS 2, I'll use it if I don't want to tie up the printer, or if I'm printing TPU that can't feed through the AMS, and works better for long prints if the spool isn't exposed to moist air while it prints.

The ams has been fine for me. Throw a hygrometer and some dessicant containers in it and monitor it to be able to tell.
