Small Buckets Excluded in October 2026

In October 2026, 21 materials did not qualify for ranked analysis due to insufficient listings. The largest excluded materials were PP with 12 listings, ABS-CF with 11 listings, ASA-GF with 11 listings, PET-GF with 11 listings, and PET-CF with 8 listings. Other materials excluded for sample size included Support, PPA-CF, PLA-GF, PC-ABS, PC-GF, PC-CF, PCTG-GF, TPU-GF, Carbon Fiber (Unknown Base), PC-FR, PPS-CF, PPS, and PPA-GF, each with fewer than 12 listings. The 'Other' category had 48 listings but was excluded due to ambiguous categorization. Multi-Material had 158 listings, all from ELEGOO, so no price comparison is possible. This transparency is part of our methodology, and future months may see specialty materials cross the 15-listing threshold or gain a second brand, allowing them to graduate to ranked analysis.
