I7

It was the best entry-level standard sized bed slinger for a very long time. It’s still one of the best, but it has some decent competition now, like the Anycubic Kobra X and the Creality SparkX i7

Honestly, for a beginner I’d recommend the SparkX i7. It’s not the absolute cheapest printer, but it’s probably one of the cheapest modern printers that actually feels like an appliance instead of a DIY repair project. Auto leveling, decent speed, enclosed design and very beginner friendly. Old Ende

I made this one, I remixed it from scratch from an another model, printed it with Hyper PLA, and I’ve had it installed for about two months now.

I just bought this printer and I have a Sovol SV06 plus from when it first released. The SV06 is a similar price (new) on sovols website and I think it's way better value if you're okay with a ton of tinkering.

Honestly, if you want: large build volume relatively low maintenance easy printing and an open ecosystem then every option will involve some compromise. K1 Max: very fast and relatively mature now, but still a Creality machine — sometimes great, sometimes frustrating. Good if you like tinkering a li

The SparkX I7 is it! This thing prints out of the box especially when you fine tune your profile. Fixed some shortcomings of other printers as well. Others may call it a clone of other brands but it’s great at printing without the need of tinkering. It will be a breath of fresh air coming from your

It's a mixed bag. On paper the Sparkx i7 does have a lot of advantages over the A1. Larger build area, usable camera (60fps), open source klipper firmware, etc.. The issues with Creality printers in general is they have a poor out of box experience. A lot of users experience QA issues that have to b

currently have a SparkX i7 with a bit over 100 hours on it already and honestly it has been surprisingly solid so far. No failed prints, no major issues, no constant tweaking. For a beginner I’d still say the regular A1 is probably the safest mainstream recommendation right now, but I also wouldn’t
