My MEGA Homemade Incubator Build

It runs all the way one way then all the way second way later by a second timer..
So same type timer runs both.. but you need two timers..
With the 3 way switch wiring should be 3 wires..1 is a ground the other 2 would be 1 for up and 1 for down..

The hatcher would be seperate just mounted on top

Hatcher have its own heat source fan etc..
I just wanted one unit together. . Less room

That might work fine then.

You likely won't need a 20 inch stroke

@DMRippy , isn't it hard to reach some of the eggs to add, candle, or remove them? It seems like the only way to get to the ones in the back is to remove the ones in front and pull them forward, or pick out the individual eggs. I have one of the old-style Sportsmans, with metal trays that slide out fairly easily. Those trays are pricey ($25 each and they only hold 2 of the egg flats), but it makes it easy to manage the eggs.
