The upright brown egg in pic 1 is the special egg, the blue in pic 2 is from my flock. You can see the brown one on the opposite side in the back on pic 2.

With the TP tubes, different angles of cuts gives better tilting options. I measured 45 degrees on a test egg, marked it, and found the angled tube allowed a full 45 degree till better, if one is inclined to tilt that far. I did experiment with carton cups, but my eggs were too big to tilt back and forth without cutting the sides down, which in turn made the cups wobbly.

So the TP ring goes under the corrugated cardboard?

I got a lot of very dark marans eggs with this same batch but couldn’t really see the air cells. I assume I should err on the side of getting early turning and put them straight in the tuner?

The TP ring is for if you decided NOT to use the turner (turn it off completely).
The cardboard cutouts are for if you ARE using the ring and have the turner on.
It kept those eggs upright and still allowed them to go around the ring to eliminate hot/cold spots.

I used the cardboard cutouts, but when I was trying to figure it all out I tried several different things because I was considering not using the turner at the beginning of incubation.
Several people have done incubation both ways I think...turner on or turner off.
