Do you like to find out about the best tools and products for doing your job? For over 30 years, the APMM has been asking model makers what their favorite things are and sharing them at conferences. There’s always an excellent variety of things and “My Favorite Things” is always one of the best-attended workshops.
It’s conference time again, so we’d like to add YOUR favorite things to this year’s presentation. Compared to 1995, it’s so easy to do! Here is the 3-STEP, 5 MINUTE process for sending in the thing(s) that help your work be more efficient, or even just easier:
STEP 1: Chose your item and take a pic of it. A pic is optional, but pictures keep the presentation peppy.
STEP 2: Tell us what it is, where to get it and why it’s a favorite. You can decide if we need to have a link or the part number to find it. You might have to say what it does, and you should mention if you modified it or if you’re using it for something besides its intended purpose.
STEP 3: Send it! That could be as easy as emailing the pic to info@modelmakers.org with a caption that has the necessary info. You could also attach the pic to an email. Don’t worry about file size. We’ll use your company name from the email as a default to credit you, or your own name if that’s where the email came from. You can have either or both of those left off, too.
Don’t hold back! Something somebody submits will make somebody else’s day. That’s the benefit of having a few hundred people willing to help each other out. An older MFT is on the website in the Documents folder under the Community tab for further inspiration. Below are a few Favorite Things from that presentation, as well as other past conferences and meet-ups. Thank you!
