Filament "snaps" when I try to bend it quickly
Some of my filament just bends, other filament snaps and breaks.
What is indicated - too much moisture, too dry? Something else?
What is the impact on the printing process?

RE: Filament "snaps" when I try to bend it quickly
I think it only indicates the brittleness (is that a word?) of the filament. For example, generally transparent PETG is more brittle than opaque PETG (but I don't know why, I am NOT a materials engineer).
If moisture content is relevant, I would GUESS that it would be more brittle when very dry.
