I'm Building an Incubator - please don't bother asking permission to laugh at me

So I was slightly motivated this morning, and put the turner together (kind of).
The things were actually a lot harder to snap in place than i thought they would be. And they pinched my fingers

See how this one is broken, i think i can super glue it

See that was easy.

it bit me, and now i have to find a tiny screwdriver and a tiny wrench to put the motor on

How much do you need to trim off to make it fit?

This is the next dilemma, see the edge in the cooler, 1/2 way down



I am thinking about putting a HWC shelf on it , then the entire turner fits, do we think there will be enough clearance for the chicks?

 

[Chaos18]

With the sticky outty parts of the cooler do the trays turn enough or do they hits the side?

um i think they turn enough, i'll have to check

If they don't you could just cut one tray off then you don't have to glue that one. Also would leave more clearance for when things hatch in it. Turner would be on the bottom and fans wouldn't be blowing directly on eggs.

i havent really thought about the fans yet. If i do the shelf thing i could put one under it at a 45, blowing the long way but angled up kinda. Then the other in the top part -doing the opposite

how important are fans, lol
