Has anyone come accross some reasonable quality vacuum storage bags for 3d filament, without a pump?

We have multiple pumps, so don't need to waste money on another one that would never be used.

  Is it more for the humidity you’re worried about?

    I’m worried about the inevitable departure from this mortal plane.

  Jaycar sell vacuum filament storage bags. Not sure if they'd work with any other pumps though.

  I use Ziploc large freezer storage bags and Hercules large storage bags. They fit normal 1kg spools ok.
  They're not perfect in that they still end up not "vacuum tight" after a while but good enough for me.

  I bought some from Aliexpress… then got plenty of resealable bags from the Jayo/Sunlu orders. They don't have the same suction hole the Aliexpress ones do but I have a needle 'pump' somewhere that draws air out before you close the seal. I'm very slack on sealing though in general. The Bambu prints PLA well enough for lazy chumps like me
