Tariff On Filament - Prices Up By 25% ?

[Nifty]

There's been a lot of talk about the tariff the US is putting on plastic stock and how it will impact 3D printed filament!

Here's a good read:

Some peeps are bulking up on filament in preparation for potential price spikes.

Do you think this will have any impact on prices?

BTW, I wasn't planning on bulking up my supply, but I got a timely email from www.zyltech.com that they are having a sale:

"GET 18% OFF WHEN YOU BUY 5 OR MORE SPOOLS COUPON CODE: BTS18"

I've been happy with their quality and prices, so I took the plunge

Thankfully the filaments that I get are not affected by any US tariffs, I get REAL filament from Holland and 3DQF filament from the UK, direct from China is another option, and all this is outside the hands of "The Duck", but more worrying here is Brexit...
We have this big landmass between us and the Mainland and our fright coming that way..
