PETG HF out of stock everywhere conspiracy theories anyone?

With all the country stores seeming to show PETG HF as out of stock.

We are left to guess why.

These are my thoughts, feel free to add your own conspiracy theories.

  1. A new variant is coming and BL screwed up the timing leaving a window of no solid colour PETG available anywhere.
  2. Colour is out and grey scales are in. All the brightly coloured PETG HF has been removed and only shades of grey (maybe 50 of them) will replace them, nOT even black or white as they are considered too extreme.
  3. PETG HF has been found to contain rare earth minerals and America wanted them for themselves so bought every last roll up.
  4. @Josh-3D has them all in readiness for his next “small” model.
  5. There was a coalition against filament that had more give than PLA, but less than TPU.
  6. Someone told Musk they worked for the US government, so they were all fired.
  7. BL thought it would be funny to leave use without a fast printing PETG available.
  8. It is April 1st somewhere, right? Not all calendars follow the Gregorian format.

lmao. Good conspiracy theories. No. 3 is the best but I think they wouldn’t buy them but just invade said filament factories…

Personally I think that Bambu Lab has a grudge against YOU…
Just done a search and lots of PETG HF colours are in stock for me…:joy:

Can you actually add one to a basket?

Hard refresh your page and see if all the spool/refill options can be pressed?

I am also in the U.K. and each and everyone is greyed out as none are available.

It actually says they are all sold out,

Oh, sorry about that. You are correct.
It’s been a long time since I have bought Bambu filament. It used to be crossed off in the colour range when it was out of stock. I didn’t check the bottom of the screen.

I lean towards nr 6!

The recent sale could also play a role :wink:

The good old days of immediate clarity, I miss those.

They were out of stock on day one of the sale.

I’ve ordered a couple spools of Sunlu and CC3D petg to test the color and printing differences myself. They’re a bit cheaper also.
