3D Printing
After some time I finally got myself a 3D printer!
The Creality Ender 3 Pro.
This is where I will share my journey with this brilliant new hobby.

The Issue
The users were cooking large batches of Southern Fried Chicken and instead of loading them as a single layer, they were piling the chicken pieces up into large mounds.
In some cases, the mounds were so large that the bottom piece were being crushed and in worse situations, the bottom pieces were left in there having new batches of chicken placed directly on top of them leading to extended periods of holding time past the safe limit.

The Solution
This will make sure that chicken pieces are loaded as single layers, with is important to reduce the possibility of chicken being trapped under new batches.
The single layer of chicken also means that the coating on chicken remains intact, as well as allowing for proper air flow in the unit helping to humidify and warm the chicken to the optimum levels.

The Development Process
Initially the design was going to be simple and square, but it was decided that to match the rest of the range there would be an angled front, then both sides were angled.
A bagged food chute was added to the top then, as a result of operational testing it was removed.
Once these changed had been finalised the interior air flow was designed to use convection rather than fan assisted airflow.
Timelapse
Created using a raspberry pi running Octoprint with the plugin Octolapse.
Further details to follow, but I just want to say thank you to Former Lurker for the fantastic information and instruction about how to get this to run with a DSLR saving the files to the SD card and allowing such a great quality time-lapse to be achieved with very minimal effort.
