home made bator

[speedy2020]

I am just curious...
1) Have anyone try to put the thermistat outside for easy access to adjust the temperature? The only reason I could think.. it inside because of the safety if you have kids.

2) Is there a reason not to use LED white or Tricolor fan? I got a free beat up LG and like to swap the black fan with color one for visibility.

As far as where to put the thermostat I think it also has something to do with the heat from the bulb that makes it shut off, but I could be wrong. I know it's just easier since you don't have to run the wires as far. As far as the fan, the only reason I used the black fan is because that is the one I got for free. I don't think the color (type) matters as long as it's not too big for the size bator you have.

no holes here. If the temp goes crazy still i'll do the holes maybe.

This is exactly right the t-stat senses the temperature and shuts off the heat supply when the bator gets to the right temperature it needs to be on the inside so this is possible
