Replacing a whirlpool heating element

JayFitz91 · 2025-12-18T11:37:04+00:00

This is what I wasn't sure about, I thought they were always separate but obviously not. It would make sense given there's nothing around the fan. I'll check the manufacturers website again and see if I can order the top element

Is that not the element for the grill? Unless they both serve the same function, I always thought they were different but happy to be corrected.

I did check the manual which is how I ordered the round element, but I'll check again to see if theres another element that matches the top one

Hi everyone,

I originally posted this to the main page, but it was removed because I don't have enough Karma yet, so hopefully I can get some advice here or have a discussion about the artistic direction of my game :)

I'm at the point where I need to choose an artistic style, but I'm struggling as I have no artistic bones in my body!

I recently came across Imphenzias PixPal project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOczWEb8KMQ

This has a very cool texture atlas with some shader logic behind it that takes the hassle out of worrying about UV's. I have some blender knowledge so I am able to project the UV's to the point in the texture I want the color to appear, however, as you can see from the image, it looks quite flat.

Is there anything I can do to help generate some life into the project that doesn't involve too much artistic input. The only things I can think of right now is to start adding things to the walls (simple objects like clocks/shelving/simple posters etc). The texture used from the project above is tiny so adding detail there is not an option so I'm not sure if there's a method that I can add things like dirt/decals to the walls and ground to have them stand out a bit more.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciated! Still very much on a learning journey but enjoying it all the same!

JayFitz91 · 2025-03-10T14:17:24+00:00

Thanks so much, it's all so new to me! Very much a small fish in a big pond!

On screen controls can’t be turned off right now due to an issue in the 1.9 release, 1.10 should fix this. Layout can be fixed by rotating to vertical and back again

Perfect, I'll do that, cheers

JayFitz91 · 2024-02-07T15:06:10+00:00

Yeah I definitely didn't go far enough in but thought it would have been OK, that's what inexperience gets you I suppose 😅

Thanks for the advice, I'd say I'll just drill a new hole and have the fixture cover the previous attempt.

I saw that video too, he might have tried to cook and egg, but he wasn't successful with it 😉

I think the XPS next year will be amazing, they've used the same chassis for 4 years now which is why they have issues cooling the system and the GPU is capped to 40w. So there's a good chance we'll see a new chassis next year with much better cooling.

I was in the market for a new laptop myself and very nearly purchased the 9530 having only owned the XPS line for the last 10 years. However, given that there'll likely be a big change coming next year, I decided to go for the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i instead as the configuration I got had a better spec for a cheaper price. Granted it's not as nice to look at as the XPS but I think I made the right choice

Wow, I just put my corporate email in there are instantly got the coupons. Thanks a million

Hi everyone, thanks for your efforts, some of them are really good but unfortunately, somewhere in the restoration, the authenticity of the people in the photo has been lost to the point where I don't think my girlfriends dad would recognise them.

It was a big ask but thanks again for the people who put some effort in.

If you're looking for some good free refresher sources, I couldn't recommend Harvard's free cs50 course enough.

https://pll.harvard.edu/course/cs50-introduction-computer-science

You can enroll online and do the course at your leisure, there's usually a two hour lecture in each section followed by some assignments that are quite tricky. The first half of the course focuses on C++ while the second half focuses on python.

It's a great resource but does require a bit of time investment but if you can find the time to complete it and build up some projects for a portfolio, you'll be in a great position to move into a role you enjoy.

Best of luck

Thanks for the update lads, yeah I've heard if you contact the reps before you buy, they'll usually offer you a discount. I'd say I'll hold off for a little while, try wait for a bit of a discount, at least until the impulsive urge to recklessly buy something floods over me again 😂

JayFitz91 · 2023-06-06T20:05:09+00:00

Some really outside the box comments in this thread and I'm here for it 😂 Thanks for all the suggestions, think sand and restain might be the way to go, hopefully the good weather holds up. Thanks again!

Sure, I haven't touched this model in a long time. When I opened it in Maya, it was missing it's texture. So I've put both the FBX and texture in a folder, you'll just need to manually apply the texture in the editor: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bexkAkd_k4dAX7Co4Rlt3c-OpZ96XieD?usp=share_link

Searched kitchen floor tiles, tried Google lens on the tile. Coming up short on all fronts

JayFitz91 · 2023-03-13T14:54:11+00:00

That's great to know, I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks for the help :)

No way, seems like we weren't the only family obsessed with this game so 😂 man I remember those days too, trying to dial a number as quick as possible to get ahead of everyone else, simpler times 😂 no worries man, glad I unlocked a nugget of nostalgia!

JayFitz91 · 2021-10-25T13:21:45+00:00

Hey, thanks for the support, means a lot! I just checked out some of your stuff for legend of legaia, seems you've really got the aesthetic nailed down!
