Nice! Hope you let us know how the first hatch goes! Out of curiosity, how much does this set up cost ya?

The glass was $5. Thermostat was $19. Fan was $17. Light socket $8. Heat emitter, $10. Storage bin $10. So around $70. Some stuff i used i already had, like the foam insulation and hardware cloth i used, wood scraps and caulk.
I could have used cheaper components, but i would rather have parts i don't have to keep replacing. Thanks for asking.

Pretty nice brother. Would love to see a walk around video of it.

I don't do video of anything because you have to load it on another site and transfer to BYC. Too much for a busy grandma who is not into technology. Thanks for your interest. I can take more pictures if you like.

I do not recommend this thermostat. Not controlling the temperature well, too much fluctuation even when i insulate the window. Hoping my eggs hatch anyway.

I hope your eggs have some temperature inertia and everything will be allright.
Why not buy such controller like that
aliexpress

It's just 10 bucks!

It only registers in Celsius and i am used to Fahrenheit. I am going to see how the rest of this hatch goes

I did candle some of the eggs last night. One blood ring, but the rest seem to be developing so far.

I shut off the 100 Watt ceramic heater and just left the 40W appliance bulb on. Temperatures more stable.
