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.
A new variant is coming and BL screwed up the timing leaving a window of no solid colour PETG available anywhere.
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.
PETG HF has been found to contain rare earth minerals and America wanted them for themselves so bought every last roll up.
@Josh-3D has them all in readiness for his next “small” model.
There was a coalition against filament that had more give than PLA, but less than TPU.
Someone told Musk they worked for the US government, so they were all fired.
BL thought it would be funny to leave use without a fast printing PETG available.
It is April 1st somewhere, right? Not all calendars follow the Gregorian format.
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 wish. I am actually running low on my PETG-HF stock and was looking to restock today. Gawd damn. I… I msdighsdfai;ghdfi;gdfi;d
NOOOOOOOO
I neeeeeed you PETG HF… NEEED you.
Joking aside though, this does have me a bit stressed now. I’ve had two ongoing projects centered around PETG-HF, and I’ve been using a lot of it. I’m hitting the end of my supply.
On reddit there was some guy complaining about some ebay dude posting models, and that dude was selling marked up PETG-HF too, hahaha. I guess there was a reason for that.
Not the case in the US (Flash sale, June 5th, not sure what day in EU). I received my email at just after 7am on June 5th, and Placed an order a little after 8am that morning. I then ordered 4 more rolls of PETG HF, plus a bunch of other filament at 9:53PM that day (June 5th). Everything I wanted was in stock when I placed my orders. I didn’t check every color but the 8 colors of PETG HF between the 2 orders were all in stock.
I found these times based off of the email I got advertising the flash sale, and the emails confirming my orders.
You mean PETG-HF was in the flash sale? Hmm, well, even regions like CA, JP and AU are entirely sold of every variation, which seems unlikely, even with a flash sale.
If Bambu had the flash sale because something was wrong with the filament and they were going to pull it that seems like a pretty dodgy thing to do. But if there wasn’t something wrong with it, why pull it at all? Just keep selling the remnants and mark them as “won’t be restocked”.
I spoke of the U.K.at the start and other countries were true when I posted and yesterday.
The flash sale may have promoted your purchase, I a, nit sure if you are suggesting they were in the flash sale itself (the 24 hour one), at least in the U.K., these didn’t include PETG HF as it was focused on engineering filaments…
So it technically wasn’t in the flash sale(my mistake), but it was on a bulk sale at the time of the flash sale. This is my second order that was placed at night.
