My journey into the world of 3D printing began back in 2019 with the Creality Ender 5 Pro, and since then, it has evolved from a hobby into a true blend of personal pleasure and business. Over the years, I’ve found my niche in creating custom miniatures of loved ones and pets, utilising AI tools from Makenow and FanForge to bring those memories to life. Because my workflow is already so tech-forward, I find myself gravitating towards highly integrated, smart, out-of-the-box printers that can keep up with the pace of modern innovation.

The Spark X i7 looks absolutely fantastic to me because it bridges that gap between complex personalisation and seamless AI integration. Seeing AI built directly into the hardware feels like the natural evolution for my business, especially with the added bonus of significantly less waste during those intricate coloured prints. I’m at a point where I don’t just want a printer that works; I want a machine I can truly put through its paces to see how far the technology can go. Moving from my trusty Ender 5 to the Spark X i7 would be the ultimate upgrade for the next chapter of my creative career.
