More than anything, the Spark X i7
0:02
really shows us who Creality are right
0:04
now. And when the Creality High already
0:06
exists, you do have to stop and ask,
0:09
"What is even the point of this
0:11
machine?" Seriously, actually pause the
0:13
video and think about that for a second.
0:15
What have they changed here and why?
0:17
Because this isn't really an evolution
0:20
of what has come before. So, please tell
0:23
me what you think in the comments. Maybe
0:25
this is why they've changed the name.
0:27
Maybe this is another new direction for
0:30
Creity, one more focused on the general
0:33
consumer, but I've been around them
0:35
enough to just feel like this is another
0:37
level of complexity and mess in an
0:40
already confusing lineup of their
0:42
machines. It's hard enough deciding
0:44
between all the printers on the market.
0:46
So, feel free to go and work out the
0:48
differences between all the machines in
0:50
just Creality's lineup. So, I can't look
0:53
at this and pretend that the high
0:55
doesn't exist when it's at such a
0:57
similar price point because what I'd
0:59
rather have seen here is a mashup of
1:01
that with the enhancements they added
1:04
this time around. In some ways, this is
1:06
a downgrade from the High. It's cheaper,
1:09
but it feels cheaper. Smaller build
1:11
height, no NFC reader on the body, and
1:14
even though, to be fair, they've finally
1:16
implemented some genuinely useful user
1:19
convenience features in the hotend.
1:21
Look, at the end of the day, this this
1:23
is just a copy of another brand's
1:25
machine, and they've flipped everything
1:27
on the left side to the right to make it
1:29
not look completely obvious. This
1:32
release once again highlights the issues
1:34
that the printing community has with
