Chicken Waterer base

thingiverse

This is a base or stand for a chicken waterer - the kind with a little red cup at the end that shuts off the valve when it's filled with water, such as the "Automatic Fill Chick Cup Drinker Waterer" from RentACoop I didn't have a good surface to attach the waterer to the side of the brooder I'm using, so I wanted to print a stand for it that'd make the waterer much less prone to tipping over, while also raising it off of the floor a little bit so the bedding can't interfere with the clearance of the cup (which causes issues keeping a steady amount of water in the cup) Keep in mind you will need to scale the model to your appropriate sized waterer - since my waterer base was about 4" x 4" I scaled the model in Cura to about 130mm X 130mm X 80mm and it worked great for my size waterer.
