April 2026 Small Buckets Note

In April 2026, 27 materials did not qualify for ranked analysis due to insufficient listings. Nylon (14), PC-ABS (9), PEBA (9), ABS-GF (7), and ASA-CF (7) were excluded because their sample sizes were too small. Support (3), PPS (3), and TPU-GF (3) also did not meet the criteria. Carbon Fiber (Unknown Base) (2), PC-FR (2), and PEEK (2) are among other materials with fewer than five listings each. CoPE, with 28 listings all from Polymaker, was excluded as it lacks a comparison story when one brand dominates effectively. This transparency is part of our methodology to ensure accurate price comparisons in future months.
