The designs differ mainly in how the container connects and how the water level is set. Vacuum drinkers hold water in an inverted jar and let it flow into a shallow cup as the birds drink. Threaded lids and adapters replace the original cap, so the fit depends on the neck diameter. Adjustable versions add a sliding or rotating part that sets how deep the water stands, which matters as chicks grow.

Before printing, check the thread or neck size the author lists and compare it with your jar, then look at the cup depth against the size of your birds. Read the part count and assembly notes, and see whether supports are needed and how the model is oriented, since orientation and wall thickness affect whether the cup stays watertight. Photos of real prints and the material and settings the author mentions are the most useful reference points.

To widen the search, try synonyms such as chick waterer, poultry drinker, quail drinker, mason jar lid, bottle adapter or vacuum cup. Related topics are worth a look too: duckling and pigeon drinkers, jar lids for dry feed, and bottle adapters used for slow watering of plants, which share the same thread and flow logic.
