Has anyone else had this occur?
I have left a roll of prusament filament on the machine for several months. It is no longer adhering properly to the platen so I conclude that it may have absorbed moisture while exposed to ambient indoor humidity.
Has anyone else had this occur? If so, is there a way to dehumidify filament after it has been exposed in this way?
RE: Has anyone else had this occur?
maybe your build plate has become contaminated,
try cleaning the build plate and print again.

The three common reasons for prints suddenly failing after a printer has been unused for a while:
A dirty print bed. Give it a really thorough clean and avoid touching the print area.
Damp filament. Look up threads here about drying filament especially if it has been left open. Most filament can be recovered by drying 'though eventually micro-cracking will become so extensive that even after 24hours+ drying it will break at the extruder.
General neglect, dust and cobwebs... Basic cleaning, lubrication and general maintenance have all been missed.
