I did some modification to the guard by trimming pieces out with an exacto knife until it would fall apart if I removed anymore and I still don't like the amount of air it stops when I place it on the fan. There is just too much air disturbance through the plastic mesh. I still have 18 days to go until lockdown. If Incubatorwarehouse can't send me the stock grille I'll find one at Rat Shack or online.
I was thinking that I could do, as you did, and open up the mesh a little. But your results makes me think that the original guard may be the way to go. (The original guard may also direct the air input more favorably over the eggs instead of straight up, which does not appear to be affecting the results much (see below)).
I have the test "in progress" right now. I have taken 3 of the 5 measurements, and the center reading is still cooler than the back corners by 2 degrees.
I did send an email to IW asking if the fan speed is adjustable, and, more importantly, how. Have not been able to find any info on how to adjust the speed using google search--anyone know how to do it? (probably the same as with the IncuKit)
