I've tested the claims and they are accurate. I printed the same model on my Sparkx i7 and k2 pro. The k2 pro had nearly 50% more waste.

My SparkX i7 was cheap, comes with 4 color CFS lite and has been pretty easy lately here with the Creality cloud app, and shop pay allowed me to finance it during the preorder sale for the MSRP with the interest included, the most difficult thing I've been facing here lately is deciding what to prin

I just started recently with an old ender 5+. Tinkered a bit, really enjoyed it and got it going pretty good but $399 for a Sparkx i7 I unboxed yesterday and I’ll tell you it’s 5-6x the speed for a way better quality print with 0 effort.

Imo they tried to launch the Hi as a successor to both the Ender 3 V3 and V3+ but it didn't sell as quickly as the V3's did so they pivoted to the V4 and likely V4+ as a Hi replacement and the SparkX i7 will be more like a V3 SE replacement for the low end budget segment. In other words, the Hi was

So I've had some time with the SparkX i7 and the print quality is on par with my K2 Plus. Although I do not have the A1 mini, I have taught friends of mine how to use theirs and compared different prints as well as did print challenges amongst us. If you really enjoy Creality and its open source phi

I'm not about to buy a Sparkx i7 for engineering prints. For someone who wants to get started with 3d printing, this is fine.

I don't own a MK4S but owned and started on its predecessor the MK3S. I actually recently sold the MK3S for a Bambu A1 because I needed something with better speed and multi colour capabilities. What I would say is that the MK3S was a definitive workhorse. I honestly prefer it over the A1 and if it

Kobra X's major speed advantages come from multi-color prints specifically, its time to switch filament is way less and said switch produces less waste So yeah... If you have a single colour print you obviously won't see those time savings. It sounds to me like you only read a few youtube titles and

I’d say wait for the SparkX i7. It will be worth the wait, in my opinion, it’ll debut at CES 2026 and it’s supposedly going to be great entry level printer with some great features that will be used in future printers as well. The Ender 3v4 will be another great option. Personally speaking I’d be wa
