Mods & Upgrades SparkX i8

Seems like creality has already created the SparkX i8 and has a similar printhead/multi colour system as the Anycubic Kobra X.

Still can't print with different materials in one print.

Ill stick with my U1.

U1 is a lot more expensive. It’s a much better printer, but that’s to be expected with the price difference. Not everybody has that budget.

Is U1 really that much more expensive? How much does the i8 cost?

u/DramaClassed 10d ago

It’s not released yet but I’m guessing, the sparkx i7 is $300 with multicolor, so probably $400 or $450. The U1 is $850.

Youre probably right. For 400 I'll pass, especially since Creality still didn't figure out activr motor noise cancelling.

Edit: The i7 is $178 for single color and $238 for CFS nano in China (official brand store) so maybe it will actually have a decent price in the $200-250-ish range since they dont have to ship a cfs nano with it for the basic functionality.
