A simple/cheap drain for filters and funnels. Not reccommended for large or heavy filters.

Cut Off Ends of Strainer

I also sanded down the edges afterward but you dont have to.

Cut a Hole

Use the strainer to trace a cirlce in the tupperwear lid, make sure to consider where you are putting it if you are also adding funnels to it. I just quickly cut a crappy hole but you can take your time if you want. Make sure the hole is smaller than the strainer so it does not fall through.

Glue the Strainer

Apply some glue to the strainer and around the hole then set the strainer in place and wait for it to dry. I later flipped the lid over and glued the bottom side as well for extra strength.

Drill Holes

Next strategically drill holes to hold your funnels. In the picture there are extra holes because I did not have a large enough drill bit for the funnels I am placing. Now throw a filter in the strainer to drain and you are done.
