For use with chickens and other small birds. Not recommended for ostriches or emus.
Use with a repurposed PET water bottle. Water level can be adjusted by loosening cap (lower) or removing cap (higher). Most 1L, or smaller, bottles should fit, but may require adjustment of cap holder height feeder_wall in provided scad file. Alternatively, use spacer rings to adjust height. Water channel is rectangular in cross-section as some polymers do not wet well and do not conduct water in small channels. A closed (tube) or open top (U-shaped) channel prevents flow. The spherical shield prevents climbing and scattering of bedding into cup. Clean by rinsing in sink.
Printed and tested with chickens.
