Cooler Incubator Question

I want to take one of thoughs big plastic collers and turn it into a ball incubator, on problem. How should i cut the lid to fit plexxi-glass/glass on it? Should I ditch the plast ic cooler and go with a styrofoam cooler instead? Thanks.:D

drill through somewhere and use a jigsaw?

justin, check this out! this is one of the best cooler designs i've seen. and has been tested truly!

for ball eggs i would modify this design a bit. flexwatt a helix a small cpu fan should be all you need. i would use sealed egg boxes to keep the humidity correct.

I know how to make the cut I just don't know how to make the lip for the glass and seal it..lol Thanks though!:D

Thanks Tim really cool link!:D More ideas welcomed!:carrot:

hey justin, is there a reason you keep calling me "tim"??



you can use foam weatherstrip to seal if you want to. if you use sealed egg boxes though you shouldn't have to.
the lid of the cooler will seal good enough.
