So after many years of successful Sharefests across the world, from USA to Australia, the United Kingdom finally was given the chance to experience this, and I was not going to miss the opportunity to attend the celebration – and it really didn’t disappoint.
Having reviewed several Creality products over the years on my 3DPUK Tech YouTube channel, here on 3DWithUs, and having been invited to share my thoughts in a number of Creality anniversary video events, this event adds to my ever-growing exposure to the Creality brand itself, which seems to be growing in popularity once more.
Creality’s event aimed at bringing the 3D printing community together across the United Kingdom to both celebrate the brand and to showcase the new lineups available.

Event Details
Birmingham 2025
The event was held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, located closely to the Birmingham NEC, on 17th May 2025 from 6:30 PM to 9 PM.
There were several prizes, activities, and refreshments provided — all based on completing a simple application form. No cost was involved, so completely free, which is awesome.
Event Theme
The theme for the evening was:
– Be the First – to see firsthand new products
– Connect & Explore – meet 3D printing industry experts and fellow enthusiasts
– Refreshments – food and drink provided
Registration & Gift Bag
The event started with a quick registration form in the hotel lobby, and I was greeted with a Creality Sharefest Gift Bag, filled with awesome gifts.

Event Space & Display
The meeting room was spacious and filled with a vast array of 3D printers, lasers, and scanners – and lots of impressive models created by fellow 3D enthusiasts. Here you can see some of the Creality products showcased at the event:
Networking & Presentations
A selection of refreshments was available at the back of the room – plus time to interact with 3D printing enthusiasts and Creality brand experts. The atmosphere was informal and relaxed.
The event kicked off with a number of presentations from the Creality team. We were also introduced to Greensticks, a partner brand, who shared a brief overview of their offering.
We then learned more about the main interactive part of the evening:
A voting contest for the best 3D printed model, displayed on the left side of the room.
Each guest received a ballot to vote.
Prizes & Giveaways
After about an hour of free time to mingle and browse the machines, the event concluded with a prize ceremony.
Awards were given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the model contest:
* 1st Prize: Creality Hi Combo Unit
* 2nd Prize: Creality Space Pi Plus Filament Dryer
* 3rd Prize and others: various prizes including dryers, filaments, t-shirts, hoodies, and gift bags
Each attendee had also received a raffle ticket during registration – these were drawn at random for additional prize giveaways throughout the night.
I was lucky to win something myself — as you can see below!
Final Thoughts
The entire event was an amazing experience – and the first of its kind in the UK. It ended with a thank-you message from the Creality team and a promise of more events to come in the future.
From my perspective, it’s definitely an event that shouldn’t be missed by any 3D printing enthusiast.
Thanks again, Creality, for the invitation!
