My incubator works very well. Many people here have madeon similar. I have several incubators.

You need to do some things to work on yours for insulation and temp swings. Good luck.

it looks like you built your incubator really well!

did it work? Is it ok if I use your incubator as a guide to build my own? like can i get ideas from yours? I want to make sure it's ok with you, since it was your idea!

ya i know. maybe if i wrap something around the box(like a towel, etc.) then will that help? My dad says that he is going to make one with a cooler for extra.

oh ya and i also made air vents in the box so the eggs can get air.

ok i made extra installation, but i am not done yet. I found a cardboard box which is just the right size! So I put the incubator into the box(which barely fits. The box is a little bigger, so it is tight around the box, but fits well.) and then I am going to wrap more tinfoil around it. Will this help?

Congratulations on being part of this endeavor! It's so great to see a young person who is into it.

When you put your 'bator in the cardboard box, can you still see the temp and humidity gauges?
