I'm not sure why there's hate for Creality—my Hi/CFS combo has been great for me, with only occasional hiccups (in thousands of hours of print time), mostly from my inexperience (like not realizing my filament was brittle because it wasn't dry...)
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the K3 with KliTek pans out. Allowing for zero-purge multi-material printing with TPU, including multi-hardness printing, in particular. Being able to print soft parts with TPU with (cheap) supports from a material TPU didn't bond well with is super exciting, like slippers with durable 95A soles and softer 80A cushioning.
And, AFAIK, there's no printer right now that allows for multi-material printing with different hardness TPU.
They're so user-hostile, it's bonkers.

Creality has a long history of under delivering features they market printers on.
Because they are horrible unless you are lucky.
