Creality launches new affordable desktop 3D printer with built-in camera

Creality has officially unveiled the Sparkx i7 Nano desktop 3D printer in Europe. The company’s new 3D printer joins the existing i7 series in the brand’s roster. The latest 3D printer is designed for beginners, said the brand in its press release. As for price, the Sparkx i7 Nano with the CFS nano kit starts at €299. There are also several other bundle options available, which you can purchase according to your requirements. Interested buyers can purchase the i7 Nano directly from Creality’s official website. 

The entry-level model has a print volume of 260 x 260 x 255 mm and a maximum printing speed of up to 500 mm/s. In contrast, Bambu Lab’s P2S offers a slightly smaller build volume at 256 x 256 x 256 mm and costs almost double the i7 Nano. The 3D printer supports a steel nozzle that can be heated up to 300 °C (572 °F) and multiple nozzle diameters, including 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm. 

Creality has incorporated a 720p AI camera, and according to the brand, it monitors prints for common failures such as air printing and spaghetti. Furthermore, the gadget is equipped with automatic bed leveling, RFID filament reading, and automatic filament refill. Interestingly, the model can be paired with the CFS nano kit, which further enables vibrant-color printing with automatic filament switching for up to four colors. 

Dimensionally, it measures 470 x 423 x 456 mm (18.5 x 16.6 x 17.9 inches) and weighs 9.12 kg (20 lbs). Moreover, the 3D desktop printer can be connected via WiFi 2.4 GHz to operate it via the corresponding companion app. Other features include a 2.85-inch color touchscreen, a built-in RGB light bar, night mode, and a smart AI detection system.
