I used a water heater thermostat. I have it on screws that I can adjust from the outside to move it closer or further away from the bulb. I can also adjust the temp from outside of the incubator. I also am using the water jars this time to help keep temp steady.
This is where I can adjust the water heater thermostat without opening the lid. Also the other pill bottle to allow for ventilation.
I put some bushings in to help hold the fan in place. I also used the pill bottle method to allow for ventilation. I have two on bottom left and one on upper right.
I place the viewing window on the side of the incubator and made it so that it can be opened and closed so I do not have to remove the lid on top. I was hoping might help keep from letting all the heat escape when turning the eggs. I also thought it might help the kids get a better view.

I've managed to get incubator to hold a temp of 99.5 with no more than a .5 variance.
