However, I do not recommend printing this,as its insulation and incubation capabilities are inferior to a $5 styrofoam box.

Proceed only if you insist on constructing it.

This is a rudimentary egg incubator, designed to accommodate approximately 30 quail eggs simultaneously, though adaptable for other avian eggs.

Box Assembly Instructions

A rotating tray is incorporated; eggs are placed upon it, and a hand crank facilitates simultaneous turning of all eggs.

 

To enhance insulation, consider these measures

1.Solid infill printing, although this will significantly increase material consumption.

2.Line the interior with insulating paper; the kind used in disposable beverage containers is suitable; multiple layers improve effectiveness.

 

For heating, acquire a supplementary heating element; USB or 220V direct plug-in options are viable; thread it through the bottom aperture, affixing it to the base; incorporate an external temperature controller for precise regulation.

Position the temperature probe through the wall aperture into the egg chamber for accurate temperature monitoring.

 

Eight 4mm diameter, 3mm high magnets secure the temperature probe cable aperture.

 

Ultimately, the efficacy remains inferior to a styrofoam box; trust me, avoid printing; this is my second iteration, and neither surpassed a simple styrofoam box.
