Creality announced the availability of the SPARKX i7 Nano, the latest addition to its i7 series. The desktop 3D printer is designed to save space while supporting print quality across up to four colors. Its compact design is intended to fit on a desk and make multi-color 3D printing more accessible for smaller workspaces.
Following the January debut of the i7 Color Combo, the i7 Nano includes features intended to simplify creation and printing. These include CubeMe, which can turn 2D portraits into multi-color 3D models. A built-in 720p AI camera monitors prints for common failures such as spaghetti and air printing, while vibration compensation and dynamic pressure adjustment help maintain consistent print quality.
The i7 Nano also includes an integrated spool holder and optimized filament layout to reduce the amount of desktop space needed. The spool holder mounts directly onto the printer body with a snap-on design, removing the need for an external CFS Lite. The design keeps the printer footprint smaller while maintaining a clean setup.
Paired with the new CFS nano Kit, a small unit mounted on top of the printer, the i7 Nano supports multi-color printing with automatic filament switching for up to four colors. The CFS nano uses a dual-motor system, with one motor controlling filament channel switching and the other handling filament feeding and retraction. This supports smoother color changes while keeping the setup compact. The CFS nano also supports quick installation without complex disassembly or modifications and is compatible with existing i7 units.
The i7 Nano features a build volume of 260 × 260 × 255 mm and a maximum printing speed of up to 500 mm/s. It supports a hardened steel nozzle with a maximum temperature of 300°C and multiple nozzle diameters, including 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm. It is also equipped with automatic bed leveling, RFID filament reading and automatic filament refill to support ease of use for beginners.
The SPARKX i7 Nano with CFS nano Kit will be available starting August 15 for €299 in Europe at the Creality EU Store.
