    Would it be possible to add a note of any countries the movie is restricted to in the title bar (eg, USA only, or Not in UK, Japan etc)? Or at very least in the post body text? This is something that could help people from feeling frustated if they find a film here that they might want to watch, only to click and have the "this content is not available in your country" pop up appear. Thanks

  • diy Do It Yourself New to DIY. Are multi tools recommended?
    Jump
  • smfx smfx 1 year ago 100%

    Ultimately, you know more about your situation than anyone else on here. Multitools can be a boon if you do not have access to any other tools, but they invariably are not as good as specialised tools - they are very much the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none in the tool world... I would still, if you are on a very strict budget, suggest you get some decent pliers, a decent set of screwdrivers, a hammer etc, rather than sink ~£100 into a good and usable multitool (if you buy a cheap, Chinese one, it may not last/hold up if you use it robustly).

  • smfx smfx 1 year ago 100%

    Multitools do a multitude of things 'ok' - typically they will not be as good as a specialised tool, but in a pinch, if they are all you have to hand they will do just fine. If you are working at home, or in a workshop, I would suggest investing in the tools you need to do the jobs in hand and add to that tool kit as you need to.

    My University Final Project

    Hope this is ok to post here! This is (one of) my university final projects - a starship, based on the style of 70s and 80s models (eg, Blake's 7, Red Dwarf, Alien, Star Wars etc), and meant to look somewhat like a dragonfly. It was designed from tip to tail in FreeCAD and printed on Elegoo Mars 2 and Voxelab Proxima 3D printers.

Pieces still need to be cleaned up a bit before being assembled, and I am not sure on the pose I want it to be in when finished (it is designed to be multi posable, not just to be assembled in one particular position). Also, no idea on a colour scheme as yet. Guess I will just wing it! I have more (close up) images if anyone is interested in them
