New incubator

Hi!

Just wanted to show my new incubator - seems to be doing perfect job, now :)
This is build from PVC - a friend, working in plastics made for me the box. The heating is on the bottom - in drawer, that I can take out. The air is moved by 3 computer fans, controlled by speed controller, each fan with separate switch (the fans are glowing blue - that are the only ones I was able to get at the time I was building this).
Additionally, the heat source (75W heating rope) is controlled by a dimmer - to keep temp changes at absolute minimum level.

The 5 pipes you see on the pictures are channels for air - blowing at the top, and moved by fans on the bottom.

The drawer is insulated from the main place, so the shelf is not warm. The air is warmed by going through the drawer, where the heat rope is installed.

The capacity of this incubator is about 350 colubrid eggs.

If anyone would be interested in plans - I can make some (I made it without any plans). Just let me know.

Wow, that's fantastic! I'd definitely be interested in plans! I have those exact fans in my Alienware. Can I ask though what purpose the fans serve?
 
Scratch my question about the fans. I guess I just didn't read thoroughly enough.
 
This is seriously a sweet incubator. When i read these posts i can imagine boys at my cegep talking about modified hondas while we're talking about modified incubators lol. If you do have plans and are willing to share them please pass them on here as well because i plan on breeding in the future and i want to be ready! Thanks
