your craft oven is all kinds of awesome. cheap and effective! the only thing I'd make different (and I might just put it on my to-do list) is to clad the inside walls in reflecting aluminum foil to concentrate the heat.

You may not need to. I'm using a 65 watt bulb and it gets hot enough to warp cardboard and make paint tacky if I leave pieces in there too long. I use it to dry everything.

I wonder if a desk lamp just hanging over something will heat it enough to speed things up. I can't make an oven like that with little hands moving at mach 3 all the time, but a lamp would be ok. What do you think?

What do you think? Probably. Put the stuff in a box with no lid, and aim the desk lamp over the box. Should work fine... just a little slower.

So, my girlfriend does not play DnD. She, however gets to hear about the tiles and encounters I'm making at great lengths. And while she rolls her eyes, she is sort of listening. She says, "Why wouldn't someone just take the orbs off the pedestal and throw them in the garbage...and then leave the room?"
It's funny, as a DM I try to think like a player, close loopholes, consider abilities/spells/class features when constructing tiles and encounters. It gets to the point I cant turn off the DnD side of my brain enough to consider the most obvious things.
Concerning the Orbs (O1-O9):
Each orb is affixed to the pedestal in a way that will not allow it to be moved.
Each orb (O1-O8) has a hardness of 15 and 30HP. The center orb (O9) has a hardness of 15 and 40HP. If an orb is broken, that door remains unlocked. If the center orb is broken, all doors open, and all monsters attack.
Dispel magic doesn't affect orbs (O1-O8), as they are in the anti-magic field. However, dispel magic could work on the center orb (threat the center orb as a 10th level caster). Dispelling the center orb works just as if the players had figured out how to turn it off properly.

isn't throwing them to the garbage bin the same as not solving the puzzle, and thus leaving it broken and unable to finish the thing and thus not able to go forward ?

I think she meant that if the orbs are preventing the player from going forward, why not just get rid of them (pick them up and throw them away). That way the magic (or anti-magic) would no longer be thwarting the players and they could pull whatever chain they wanted and leave. It got me thinking about the most "logical" thing to do.

Yeah the oven idea is cool... i took my old bed lamp with a 60watt in it... i simply plugged it in curve it so it is close to the aluminium plate i have my stuff on...
seriously, even my watered down glue was dryed in about an hour. and my ruins which took about 5 days to dry up. under that light... 8 hours ! definitely a must for any people wanting to dry stuff up !

There's the next tutorial You are probably right. I really should do one. Of all the cardboard stuff I have made, it is the thing that gets used the most.

I went to my local Wal-Mart and bought a $20 Crockpot/Slow Cooker, two heat settings, hi/low. The low setting is roughly 170 F. I use this to dry figures which have received The Dip treatment (Minwax Polyshades urethane stain, solvent-based -- 30 to 45 minutes to fully cure), as well as other things which benefit from low-heat drying which I don't want to wait for days to finish. The only caveat, is that the low heat setting is hot enough to melt Hot Glue. They work great indoors, or in the garage. A Slow Cooker is safer to use than a light bulb in a cardboard box. Cheers!
