Just Finished my new "baby" so Decided post a pictures and cost...
As a base I used 100 qt Igloo max cold cooler. I've bought it from KMart for 67 and change delivered to my home...
Reason i go with 100qt is that only size wide enough for 6qr boxes so i can go with 3 6 qt egg boxes wide-wise or 2 biter ones length-wise...
As heat source I've used new 6 inches TGH Heat tape got it from RBI for 18$ with Connector.
Then of course water bottles... it fit very nice 9 1liter Smart Water bottles.. that 2-2.50 per piece...
On Dry Run after 24 hours water in the bottle was 118.5 F temp in upper part of cooler was 109 F
Then we have piece of egg-crate You can but that in local Home depot or Lowes for around 12-15$ per 2x4' Piece...
Egg-crate is a base for ventilator.. I've Used standard low Speed computer case 12V fan with is connected to 12V Dc power Adapter from Dollar Store...
Fan-10$ Power supply 7.99...
Then as space breaker i uses 1 inch plastic pipe and 4 90 degrees connectors.. all around 7 $ in local Home Depot...
Another piece of Egg-crate plus sensor from Thermostat and that basically all.... You have finished Incubator...
All system is controlled by previous version on Herpstat and as backup I Have Accurite thermometer just as Control...
Cost without thermostat 155$ give or take 5$....
Hope Guys You like it....
