planning a cabinet incubator

[JRNash]

In theory you could use the formulas to achieve the end results.lol The REAL world seldom cooperates

Maybe pipe in a little mozart for the fluff balls....lol

if you have the space consider adding a peltier dehumidifier there cheap and small.

i used a separate air channel with a water reservoir on my design. To add humidity i just run the fan. When the humidity it at the set point the fan shuts down

That's what I'm talking about!!!

The incubator build will be from the inside out. The components will dictate the size

Another thing I'm concerned with is replacement parts. How quick can i get them. If i can get the parts from home depo,tractor supply and walmart i will have it made. Thank you for the link

i normally go ebay and buy 2 if its something that i need a spare

you will be using something like this as a heater?

That's looks like the type of animal. Won't know for sure till I bust it open.lol

Walmart and home depo both carry the same 200watt personal space heater for around 14$

if its ptc based then that's a great idea as that has a max temp that it can reach. If its a heater wire then you will have to be careful with the materials you have around it. This is where tile would make a excellent safety barrier. (lots of incubator fires are caused by over sized wire heaters and a failed fan next to wood)
