Hi makers,
I just finished a small project for the Creality SparkX i7: the Hackman LED System (HLS).
The goal was simple: better visibility while printing, cleaner timelapses, and honestly… making the printer look way better at night 😄
The whole setup costs under 10€, keeps the original USB port fully usable for USB drives, and turns on/off with a touch switch.
There are only a few solder joints to make, and I’m currently looking into making a low-cost AliExpress component kit to simplify the build even more.
I made a short video of it in action here:

Would love to hear what you think or what you’d improve

OrcaSlicer updated Creality profiles from CrealityPrint v7.1.0
https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer/pull/13581
Orca has really old profiles and many printers like the new SparkX i7 are still missing, i converted all new crealityprint profiles and adapted them to work in Orca. Please try it out with your printer!
As a warning backup your files and custom configs!
Also with some printers old custom print profiles might not work (just dont show up) still working on that somewhere there is a naming issue

Sparkx I7 Bed Mesh - How do I correct this?
This is the best I've seen it so far after letting the bed sit heated at 55C for 10 minutes.
When its cold there was a total range of 1.5 difference.
I was having adhesion issues printing in the front corners while making a simple rectanguar print that sat on its thin side (6.5mm) and and went from the front left corner diagonally to the back right.
The front end kept coming loose about 1/4 of the way through the print job. I tried using brim and even painting supports on the end. I autocalibrate before each print.
I did not try using glue stick.
I previously had a K1SE and shimmed that bed to make it better but I'm new to this 'bed-slinger' type and not sure how or where to try shimming or if there is a better alternative.

3D Printer Files | 3MF File | SPARKX i7 CFS Lite 250g Spool Adapter
Hi SPARKX i7 owners
I designed a simple adapter for the CFS Lite that allows the use of 250g filament spools instead of standard 1kg rolls.
Honestly, it’s super useful for:
- multi-color printing
- testing new colors/materials
- specialty filaments
- avoiding buying 1kg rolls for colors you barely use
The adapter keeps the spool centered and rolling smoothly inside the CFS Lite.
I mainly made it because buying 4 different 1kg spools just for a small multicolor project felt… painful
Would love feedback from other SPARKX i7 users, especially if you try different spool brands/sizes.
