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

It's made for a specific incubator. The plug would get soldered to the control board of the incubator.

so just cut it off and use the red wires?

 

[Chaos18]

Yes

 

[DwayneNLiz]

Yes

thanks, i assume since they are the same color it doesnt matter which way i put them?

 

[Chaos18]

Any markings or writing on either one?

FYI - hardware cloth is not user friendly, be warned it BITES, and pokes, and stabs and is not nice

Oh, tell me about it!! I forgot my gloves when I was reinforcing the place Jace decided to go broody, and I barely made it out alive.

got the windows glued in, I still need to get some washers/screws to finish attaching but they are glued

Drilled holes for the light bulbs and then made I do it for the wires

Put the bulbs in opposite sides, hoping it helps with hot spots and air flow
maybe
Even though it will be a little harder to wire

The HWC shelf is in and fits, the bamboo skewers were to keep it from rolling up on me. I need to find something else for rigidity and strength but for now- skewers lol

Got the new 110 motor attached, and drilled a hole for the wires

Drilled holes for the thermo ( oops I can't measure and have a spare hole to fill )

Got cleaned up, enough for today. Hopefully tomorrow I will get it wired. Some of the wires are a little short so I need to get a little more (I will steal some from my hubbys shop tonight )

ugh making that shelf was a PIA, I have booboos and blood everywhere, and I still need to make a HWC cage for the thermo

Ugh
