I'd keep a good eye on the humidity inside the tubs, even with using press and seal you may lose some moisture since it is open to the room. Pretty awesome build.
Nice Justin! I also made an incubator out of a pop cooler. I noticed that when I turn on the florescent light inside the cooler, it heated it up quite a bit. I have it on a switch so I can turn it on when I need to and off when I don't. That way it doesn't heat up the incubator too much. I don't know, maybe something to try. I also have led computer fans in mine and they don't put off that much heat. Might just be that light. Great looking incubator though!
i dont see the point of that fan sucking the nice warm and moist air out. if it overheats while heating is off, maybe some high-consumption electronics should simply switch off? But then i dont see what it should be. Inside lighting appears to be around 20 watts, a fan like that maybe has between 2 and 5 watts, the fancy LEDs maybe a quarter of a watt each. That does not add up to anything significant. It makes no sense, where is the heat coming from when heating is turned off?
Watsup justin...i have a question i have a cocacola cooler that i am convertin but my temps are up and i havnt turned on the heat tape and i think its cause the temp in the room is hot i only have a small room i have 2 fans inside n the temp is still at 94 degrees
Bryce Lawley most people don't bother with it because there rooms that the incubator is in is up to the correct humidity. But if you cant achieve this, use tropical mist, not water because it we make the eggs mouldy and soggy. Tropical mist brings up the humidity without making the eggs soggy. Make sure you have digital humidity gages at the bottom, middle and top just incase the humidity gets to high. I hope you queerys are answered 😊

OMG EXCELLENT JOB MAN like the way you broken down from start to finish for us mate keep up the great work man.!
I like the internal thermostat idea. Very cool.

Great incubator and excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
yes thats true, a fluorescent light can consume maybe something around 15 watt.
Great video! Thank you for sharing!

VERY NICE!!!!
My soda fridge incubator overheats too if I turn the factory lights on. Kind of weird considering it was designed to be cold.

That's sick Capt Overkill!
I have snakes to clean justin if you are bored lol veey nice
fluorescent lights generate a suprising amount of heat, over 50 deg C. try touching one when it's been on for a while :-)
Great incubator Justin 👍🏻
that is great, i really need to build something like this.
Great build, thanks for sharing.
What tubs do you use?
Justin do the fans run all the time, or do u have them wired into the heat tape, and thermostat?
If it was getting too hot just with the fans running what's the need for heat ?
a live egg cam before and after the piping
Amazing vid as always.
that looks great
Looks like a bigger version of the one I have:)
Great, love it
You make some for profit

why.
How do you maintain humidity? In each individual container or throughout the whole incubator unit? Thanks!
