Living life on the edge (of the incubator) hatch-a-long

[fluffycrow]

If I remember right, I called it "the spacecraft" now and then. Its real name was "the binbator".

It looks amazing! I'm terrible with tech and electronic stuff, so this seems so impressive to me. But honestly this should be impressive regardless

Me too, electronics may as well be magic boxes. It's not too hard though with a bit of googling and some YouTube tutorials. I'm on my... fifth incubator? At least? Honestly, I forget how many I've built and then disassembled to make a better one.

It's not quite accurate to the original yet but here's my thread where I'm modelling my incubators, past and present, in CAD. It gives you a better idea of what my current one looks like. I don't have many good pictures.

I've also had both ends of the commercial 'bator spectrum: LG and Brinsea. I like my DIY incubators at least as well as the Brinsea if not better because I can customise them to my heart's content.

Oooh! Don't mind me over here with a Sawzall on this high dollar Brinsea incubator...

No Tink no! Don't do it!!

This was my next version - it got the chop as I decided it wasn't big enough, plus it had some temperature stability issues after I, uh, got a bit too excited with the modifications. Currently planning a fully 3d printed incubator.

Oooh, I saw one or two of your other ones but not that one. Hubby retires THIS YEAR, and he's going to build me one so we'll be checking yours out!

I have a couple of plans for this one to make it even better, but those will have to wait for later as all my incubation stuff is in storage temporarily. Soon.... soon.

ASAP we hope
