SparkX i7 Specs & Price: Build Volume, Bundles, and CFS Lite vs CFS Mini

SparkX i7 Specs & Price: Build Volume, Bundles, and CFS Lite vs CFS Mini

Published

By

SparkX i7 is easy to misunderstand for one reason: the printer is simple, but the bundle names are not. This page is a reference sheet—official specs, what each version includes, what CFS Lite and CFS Mini actually do, and how to read the price without getting misled by launch labels.

Quick Facts

  • Build volume: 260 × 260 × 255 mm
  • Rated speed / acceleration: ≤ 500 mm/s and ≤ 10,000 mm/s²
  • Max nozzle / bed temp: ≤ 300°C / ≤ 100°C
  • Multicolor: Yes with CFS Lite (4 slots)
  • Auto-refill: Yes with CFS Mini (2 slots), not multicolor
  • Color expansion beyond 4: Not supported (no multi-unit stacking)

Don’t buy the wrong combo

Before you pay, do this quick check:

  1. Find the included accessory name: CFS Lite or CFS Mini
  2. Match it to your goal: multicolor vs auto-refill
  3. Confirm the checkout price for that exact bundle (ignore old screenshots)

If you do those three things, most “pricing confusion” disappears.

Official SparkX i7 specs

This is the core spec set from the official listing.

Build volume note: the Z height is 255 mm, not 260. That only matters if you print tall parts often.

Versions explained: Standalone vs Color Combo vs Autofill Combo

Standalone vs Color Combo vs Autofill Combo_1
Standalone vs Color Combo vs Autofill Combo_2

This is the simplest way to think about the three versions:

  • Standalone = printer only
  • Color Combo = printer + multicolor feeder
  • Autofill Combo = printer + run-out protection feeder

Here’s the “what you get” table:

VersionIncludedWhat it’s forHard limit
Standalonei7 printer onlyBasic single-colorNo feeder included
Color Comboi7 + CFS Lite (4 slots)Multicolor printingMax 4 spools/colors
Autofill Comboi7 + CFS Mini (2 slots)Auto-refill (finish long prints)Not multicolor

If your goal is color prints, the only bundle that matches that goal is Color Combo (CFS Lite).

CFS Lite vs CFS Mini

These two accessories solve different problems.

CFS Lite = multicolor

  • Holds 4 spools
  • Supports multicolor printing on i7
  • Designed around up to 4, not “expand later”

CFS Mini = auto-refill, not multicolor

  • Holds 2 spools
  • Helps a print continue when filament runs out (auto-refill)
  • Multicolor printing is not supported

Can you stack units for 8 or 16 colors?

Launch info indicates multiple CFS units are not supported simultaneously, so you should not buy i7 expecting multi-unit color expansion later.

Price explained: why you see $339 and $399

 sparkx i7 price

People argue about SparkX i7 pricing because launch talk often includes two numbers:

  • Early-bird price (limited-time launch pricing)
  • Regular/MSRP anchor (reference price)

Several launch coverage sources repeat $339 early bird and $399 regular/MSRP framing.

Price snapshot

As of January 2026 (launch coverage period):

Price label you may seeWhat it usually means
$399 MSRP / RegularAnchor/reference price outside promo window
$339 Early-birdLimited-time launch pricing (time-window based)
“Code / Live deal”Special entry offer (may expire or vary by page)

The rule that keeps you safe

Judge the deal by the checkout price for your exact bundle (Standalone vs Color vs Autofill). Not by crossed-out anchors or screenshots from a different day.

FAQ

1) Can SparkX i7 print more than 4 colors?
You should assume no. The system is positioned around CFS Lite (4 slots) and does not support stacking multiple units for more colors.

2) Is CFS Mini multicolor?
No. CFS Mini is for auto-refill, and multicolor printing is not supported.

3) What’s the fastest way to choose the right bundle?
Colors → CFS Lite (Color Combo).
Fewer run-out failures → CFS Mini (Autofill Combo).

4) Why does the same printer look like it has different prices online?
Because launch periods show early-bird pricing, MSRP anchors, and sometimes special entry offers. Trust your cart checkout price for your bundle.
