I am beyond frustrated and honestly feel completely ripped off. I bought my SparkX i7 literally two months ago. Multi-color printing with it produces a massive amount of purge waste, making color prints ridiculously expensive and wasteful.
Now I see this announcement for the SparkX i8 featuring "0g waste" and a completely new QuarTeks 4-color printhead. Are you kidding me? Is my two-month-old machine already obsolete technology?
Does anyone know if Creality is going to offer an upgrade kit to put this i8 printhead on the i7? The i8 toolhead clearly takes 4 filaments directly into it, which is fundamentally different from the current setup. Are all of us who recently bought the i7 just screwed and stuck with a machine that costs a fortune in wasted filament? This is a massive slap in the face to early adopters and recent buyers. I expect better.

Hey everyone, looking for some opinions on the bed mesh of my SparkX i7. As you can see in the screenshot, I'm dealing with a range of 1.52mm and a pretty steep slope.
Some context before the "just tram your bed" comments:
The gantry and frame are checked with a spirit level and are completely square.
The SparkX i7 bed uses fixed screws over springs, so there are no manual adjustment knobs or wheels to easily tram the bed physically.
Both the level sensor and the entire bed assembly have already been replaced.
I know Auto Bed Leveling compensates for a lot, but a >1.5mm variance seems huge. Would you consider this an acceptable factory tolerance, or is this a severely warped/faulty bed? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
