High Tech Roach Bin

[Rankins]

Made some improvements so figured I would share the improved version. This could easily be used for an incubator also. The fan wires haven't been routed yet because I just added a bigger fan yesterday. Need to drill a hole and wire it properly. Don't build something like this without carefully figuring it out. Plastic and heat dont do well together. Mine is setup totally safe....

Nice setup! I like that it's relatively portable too.

Thanks Cooper, its pretty awkward to move because it is pretty big and the wires from the thermostat/humidistat and the heat emmiter make it a bit more cumbersome. But still not very hard and it will come with me when I start vending at the expos again. Should have plenty of orange heads to sell off.

I built a portable power source for the boat using a rolling cooler. Boat battery in the bottom connected to a pure sine inverter. Cut the side of the cooler so two outlets and a USB port are available and I can just roll it around easily. Something like that (scaled way down) would give you a portable power source for your setup. Maybe a UPS battery cartridge connected to a small inverter to give you USB power on the go.

Dang, Cooper your creative also!!
Thanks for the offer for supplies to make it even more high tech. I don't think I'll need it, even if I take it to expos they supply power. But even if they didn't have power the bugs would probably be fine. But thanks again
