I came across this nice ass plastic case That I would somehow like to possibly re-purpose to possibly a cloning machine but I’m open to other opinions as well. Also I got a extra 585GPH pump & an air pump. Can someone possibly get started on a building plan and possibly other materials I may need?

Looks fun! as long as that hinge doesn't rust, I bet you could take the holes out with a Dremel, and make room for a few rows in there, with some foam pool noodle material to hold them if you don't have the inserts already! What're its dimensions?

Yes, a fun project indeed No, this will be my first cloner period. The dimensions are 20”x24”x12.5” any Amazon links to items I might need to make it work? I probably have all the tools necessary except possibly a big hole drill bit. What size holes should i go for?

I'd say as long as you can get the lid to seal, it'll be quite nice.
I've made bubbler cloners and misters, but to be honest I have the best results just sticking a cutting in a rockwool cube in a clone dome and heat mat.

Is the pump mag drive? Could leak oil otherwise.

It's ideal for a bubble cloner, I made one at the end of last year I love it.

I would agree a rw cube is quicker but you don't need to babysit a bubble cloner just cut and forget.

I made a DIY cloner years ago when I was doing hydro. It worked great. I don't do enough cloning these days to bother with it but I still have it. I just clone in coco these days as it's simpler and takes up much less space.
