how do I put a fan in incubator?

[justmedr]

Try to get one that outputs 6vdc or less.. the 12vdc i think is too much.

Edit.. I meant power supply.

Why does the fan need to be blowing up instead of down?

There is a vent right above the spot the fan fits an if you have it blow down in will suck cold air threw it an cool the eggs under it. That vent is ment to have air going out.

I didn't have screws, so I had to improvise and use twist ties, 3 - 4 on opposite corners. I will put some screws in if we incubate again.

If you put it in the way rebelcowboysnb showed in the picture, then it will blow up, not down. The only thing with the wiring is, if you wire it wrong, it won't turn on then you have to re-wire. Pretty simple.

Some fans will blow backwards if wired wrong others wont. Ether way wiring it wrong hurts nothing.
