the incubator and your workmanship look great. Take it for what it's worth, but I do have one considerable concern based on my experience. I believe there is a considerable danger that the boxes close to the heating element may likely get too hot when the element comes on to bring the incubator up to temperature after it is opened or when new egg boxes that are not up to temp are added. The direct radiant heat from the heating element will likely heat these boxes, at least for periods of time considerably higher than the other boxes in the incubator. I also think that a small fan would be cheap insurance and provide an added margin of saftey.
Good luck
Grant
