Hello everyone, I'm trying to make a no-mess feeder for my coturnix quail.

After doing research, everyone says that coturnix quail should have a 1.5-inch feeding port installed.

So I downloaded some models online to 3D print them. However, their diameters vary - specifically, the inner diameters are all different (1.1'', 1.3'', 1.4'', 1.5'') - yet the download pages all claim they're 1.5 inches. This is confusing to me.

Based on your experience, what size inner diameter should I print for the feeding port for my coturnix quail?

Thanks. Merry Christmas.

Ah just wanted to let u know I might be getting some buttons back from the blood line u sold me on a deal years ago just with a little Darth morph mixed into the blood line for fresh blood it's grand kids of the mixed offspring I had an old account that I forgot the logg in
( They are the siblings of the batch that hatched out 2 pink eyed fallow with them)

Oh, that's nice to hear! I rehomed all of my buttons before I moved, but I have a new line now.

I remember u telling me u re-homed them but u said if I could that u wanted some back from ur original line free of course do you still want some back after I hatch some and get some eggs going myself to make sure there fresh and healthy? Or are you good with your new line? I had to move twice so I had no time what so ever to re get them and get u some before
