I did notice that to completely dry it after the dishwashing, I had to place it at an angle for water to drain from the inside. Is the foam inside soft foam or hard foam?
Haha that's my best guess too! I mean, it's solid, very sturdy parts. I didn't see the problem, especially with the delicate setting :) I am sure it'd be fine on regular. I also only put it in the top rack. My dishwasher is pretty new but I know some older ones have that really hot element in...
I was reading the owner's manual for the Octagon 20 and it says to not wash the incubator parts in the dishwasher but I have been washing the black tray, the metal dividers and the yellow bottom part in the dishwasher on the delicate cycle with absolutely no issues. Any else do this?

So far I LOVE my Brinsea. I am highly considering getting another with my next paycheck (after all the bills are paid...)
Just got my Brinsea and before I'be set eggs in it, I've already used it as an ICU for an assisted hatchling from last hatch. Long story but I am DONE with styrofoam incubators. The temperature fluctuated constantly and would spike in the afternoon and drop very low at night. They could not hold...
