A Festival of Multi-layered Fun

The 2025 fan gathering in New Zealand is a joint effort by Creality and PB Tech — one of Australasia’s largest computing and technology resellers.

At the event, Creality showcased its latest innovations — K2 Plus, Creality Hi, Ender-5 Max, Falcon A1, and the new slicer software Creality Print 6.0. Apart from an exclusive product hands-on experience, the community members participated in interactive games like a quick quiz that included a variety of 3D printing questions, and the “Make & Match” to assemble a 3D printed Creality logo. The event also saw inspiring speeches from invited industry experts, along with an open discussion where everyone was encouraged to share everything about their experience with 3D printing. Last but not least, the event culminated in the 3D printed model contest where all makersʼ creativity shines the brightest.

Powerful Industry Insights

Invited speakers from vastly different fields shared their takes on how 3D printing has made a huge difference in both their professions and hobbies.

  • Carl Salas — Lecturer at the Unitec School of Architecture
    Carl shared how 3D printing is rapidly changing the landscape of architectural design, cultivating architects with the mindset to think outside the box.
  • H + R Drone Racing — Drone Lovers & Content Creators
    The drone-loving twins started a YouTube channel to document their DIY projects — from RC submarines, drones and FPVs to an RC wingsuit. Fueled by a passion for turning out-of-this-world ideas into reality, they’ve brought many maker projects to life.

Model Contest Highlights

With over 20 models vying for 3 top spots, this year’s contest was intense. Meet the winners:

  1. 1st Place: R2-D2 by John Ferguson
    John won with his 365-day project — a remote-controlled, talking R2-D2 from Star Wars, printed all on a Creality Ender-5.
  2. 2nd Place: Yarn Tools by Terri Cattell
    A retiree, grandma, and ShareFest second-timer, Terri got a K1 Max printer as a gift just last year, and amazed everybody at the event with her 3D printed yarn swift — a combination of her long-time and new-found hobbies.
  3. 3rd Place: BB-8 & EVE by Mike Owen
    A 1:1 BB-8 replica that is fully animatronic.

Incredible Energy from Makers

The ShareFest is held at the PB Tech store in Manukau, located in the suburb of Auckland, where product manager Joe Shi expressed his excitement:

“The energy today was incredible — far beyond what we imagined! Seeing so many passionate makers, from veteran creators like John to inspiring newcomers like Terri, reminds us why we do this. Together with Creality, we’re proud to foster a culture where ‘By Makers. To Makers’ comes to life. The feedback has been overwhelming, and we can’t wait to bring even more innovation to our next ShareFest!”

Spring Into Savings: VARON Offers Discounts on Oxygen Solutions for Allergy Season

NEW YORK, April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As spring blooms across the country, so does allergy season — a time when pollen, dust, and airborne irritants can aggravate respiratory conditions and make breathing more difficult. VARON, a leading provider of respiratory care solutions, is helping consumers combat these seasonal challenges with advanced oxygen concentrators and exclusive spring savings.

To support customers during peak allergy season, VARON has launched its Spring Sale, offering sitewide discounts of up to 30% on select oxygen concentrators and accessories. The promotion is aimed at helping more people access reliable respiratory support while enjoying significant savings.

How Spring Allergies Affect Breathing

Each year, millions of Americans experience allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever. For individuals living with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other respiratory conditions, exposure to spring allergens can worsen symptoms such as wheezing, congestion, and shortness of breath.

Oxygen therapy has become a trusted solution for improving respiratory health, ensuring users receive adequate oxygen while reducing exposure to airborne allergens.

VARON Oxygen Concentrators: Breathing Easier This Spring

VARON’s oxygen concentrators are engineered with advanced filtration systems to deliver purified oxygen while minimizing irritants. Key features include:

  • Enhanced Air Filtration: Removes pollen, dust, and other allergens from the air.
  • Built-in Humidification: Adds moisture to oxygen to prevent dryness and irritation.
  • Continuous and Pulse Flow Options: Customized oxygen delivery for every need.
  • Portable, Lightweight Design: Ideal for users staying active indoors or outdoors.

These healthcare devices offer a convenient solution for individuals seeking respiratory support at home or on the go.

Spring into Savings: Limited-Time Discounts Now Available

In celebration of spring, VARON’s Spring Sale offers exclusive savings to help more customers access essential respiratory care solutions.

Customers can take advantage of:

  • Up to 30% off on featured oxygen concentrators and respiratory accessories
  • 18% off sitewide with no code required
  • Free shipping on all orders

Whether planning outdoor adventures, family gatherings, or simply enjoying fresh air in comfort, VARON’s oxygen concentrators help users breathe easier and embrace the season.

For more details on VARON’s Spring Sale or to explore its oxygen therapy solutions, visit https://varoninc.com or contact support@varoninc.com.

Essential Maintenance Tips for Optimal Performance and Hygiene

In addition to the promotions, VARON is encouraging customers to take this opportunity to care for their oxygen equipment. “Regular maintenance of oxygen devices and accessories plays a vital role in ensuring safe, effective, and comfortable oxygen therapy,” said Dr. Walkers, Director of Product Development at VARON. “Over time, components like filters and cannulas can accumulate dust, moisture, and bacteria, which may affect both air quality and the overall user experience.”

VARON recommends the following spring maintenance checklist:

1. Replace Air Filters

Filters help block dust, debris, and airborne particles from entering the device. Replacing them every 3 months (or more frequently in dusty environments) ensures clean air intake and protects internal components.

2. Change Nasal Cannulas and Tubing

These components are in direct contact with the user and can harbor bacteria if not changed regularly. It is recommended to replace cannulas every 2-4 weeks, based on your frequency of use, to maintain hygienic oxygen delivery.

3. Clean Accessories Weekly

Wash cannulas, tubing, and humidifier bottles (if applicable) weekly using mild soap and warm water, then allow them to air dry completely. Never use harsh chemicals or alcohol.

4. Inspect and Replace Batteries (for Portable Units)

If using a portable concentrator, check battery life and replace older batteries that no longer hold a full charge. Proper battery function is essential for uninterrupted oxygen therapy on the go.

5. Store Devices Properly

Keep equipment in a clean, dry place when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture to prevent internal damage and preserve the unit’s integrity.

Customers can find replacement filters, cannulas, tubing, and batteries available at discounted prices during the Spring Sale.

Supporting Health and Wellness Year-Round

In addition to providing high-quality respiratory equipment, VARON encourages customers to take proactive steps to manage allergy symptoms during spring. These include using air purifiers indoors, limiting outdoor exposure during peak pollen hours, staying hydrated, and consulting healthcare providers for personalized care plans.

VARON remains committed to supporting respiratory wellness with products designed for comfort, efficiency, and reliability.

About VARON

VARON is a trusted leader in respiratory care, providing innovative oxygen therapy solutions to support individuals with chronic and seasonal breathing difficulties. Committed to comfort, reliability, and cutting-edge technology, VARON helps users around the world breathe easier every day.

2026 Best Lawyers® in Australia showcases law firm talent, highlights Brisbane as emerging hub for top legal minds

New data from Best Lawyers reveals top-ranked legal talent across Australia, providing insights for firm marketing and recruitment

AUGUSTA, Ga., April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Best Lawyers® today announces the release of the 2026 editions of The Best Lawyers in Australia™ and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Australia™, offering law firms a powerful resource to benchmark professional excellence, spotlight emerging legal talent and strengthen their competitive standing.

2026 editions of The Best Lawyers in Australia™
2026 editions of The Best Lawyers in Australia™

The Best Lawyers rankings, representing the country’s top 5% of legal talent1, offer data-driven insights and access to a global network that Australian legal firms can leverage to support their marketing, recruitment and client development initiatives.

Best Lawyers CEO, Phillip Greer, said the 18th edition of The Best Lawyers in Australia recognises more than 4,500 lawyers selected from a rigorous peer-review process. Of those, 314 lawyers are being honoured for the first time, reflecting the continued expansion in this region.

Now in its fourth year, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Australia highlights more than 790 early-career lawyers for outstanding professional achievement.

In addition, 329 nominees were awarded the prestigious “Lawyer of the Year” title, for those receiving the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region.

“The Australian legal market continues to advance, with seasoned lawyers and emerging voices leading the charge on some of the globe’s most pressing legal challenges,” Mr Greer said.

“From class actions and data privacy to climate-related litigation, this year’s Australian honorees represent the highest calibre of the profession, with a growing focus on impact, innovation and accountability.”

Sydney and Melbourne dominance challenged

Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane lead the country in awarded talent, underscoring their roles as Australia’s primary legal and commercial hubs – but there are emerging trends as to where top legal talent is concentrated, according to Best Lawyers Vice President of Research and Development, Elizabeth Petit.

Brisbane has emerged as a growing hub, attracting a rising number of high-performing legal professionals – likely driven by the city’s population growth, economic development and expanding legal market.

Sydney and Melbourne maintain their long-standing reputations as powerhouses for top legal talent, however their growth has not been as dramatic,” she said.

Litigation remains the most recognised practice area in the 2026 editions, followed by Insurance Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution, reflecting growing legal needs across corporate, risk and strategic advisory services.

Mr Greer said legal firms across Australia continue to demonstrate a commitment to professional distinction, with 700 firms represented this year and a record 500,000 evaluations made in the peer-review process required for nominees.

“Best Lawyers’ recognition process is a key indicator of legal expertise and credibility for clients and the broader legal profession, providing valuable third-party validation in a highly competitive industry.

“Our peer rankings provide a confirmed network for people to tap into and know they are getting the best legal representation,” he said.

Further strengthening its position in the Australian legal market, Best Lawyers will announce the 2026 Best Law Firms™ – Australia and release its Australian Legal Market Report providing a comprehensive overview of legal trends on May 29, 2025.

Dr. Tingjun Yang, Chief Executive Officer and Director of 3e Network, commented: “We are pleased to report a strong performance for the first half of fiscal year 2025. Compared to the same period in the fiscal year 2024, our revenue increased by 5.3%, driven by our ongoing efforts to expand our customer base through innovative software development services. These initiatives also contributed to substantial growth in both gross profit and net income with a growth rate of 49.3% and 56.2% year over year, respectively. Additionally, our gross margin improved significantly from 35.9% in the first half of fiscal year 2024 to 50.9% in the first half of fiscal year 2025.

This remarkable growth reflects our unwavering investment in research and development (“R&D”), which remains a cornerstone of our business development and long-term growth potential. R&D expenses increased by 25.4% compared to the same period in the fiscal year 2024, highlighting our continued commitment to new research projects and product innovation. At the same time, our cost-control strategies proved effective — by outsourcing certain development activities and focusing our resources on high-margin businesses, we achieved a 19.2% reduction in the overall cost of revenue year over year.

Looking ahead, we are confident in the strength and resilience of our current business strategy and operational initiatives, which we believe will support sustained growth and enable further expansion. As a player in the fast-evolving and competitive B2B IT industry, our core competitiveness lies in technical innovation and software customization. Our steadfast commitment to R&D investment will remain the driving force behind our growth trajectory, and we are confident these efforts will continue to generate long-term value for our company and our shareholders.”
