I’ve been looking for a good filter holder and just found this image on the suport pages, but no reference where to order it. Does anyone know or have even better ideas? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/2/5/2580d20bfe7e871ec63a098af5600cd88fa82f2f.jpeg) ---

looks easy enough to make by hand ---

Hi @Reine, I don’t believe we have any official recommendations for this type of holder. Based on a quick search, you should be able to order a similar one by searching for “ring stands” online. You could also fashion a similar device yourself as @George_Earussi mentioned. ---

This is my take on a filter holder, it fits well into the top of the resin cartridge and the ribs allow good draining. I printed mine out of clear. ![IMG_20221213_080440](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/0/d/0d23c004cfb6dfd5d79205529cc16c9d9747f18b.jpeg) ![IMG_20221213_080512](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/c/7/c7b192945bb50d9541d26424bc422dad9d0d9a98.jpeg) ![IMG_20221213_080454](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/d/a/da10429f5d48dd59c9bed7d4337c57c83cd738f8.jpeg) [10-1038-01.stl](https://forum.formlabs.com/uploads/short-url/5WVFBO2iT6gJsrkxJv5pIocH0lp.stl) (2.3 MB) ---

Thank you. The problem I see with that solution (I’ve used a similar but smaller funnel) is the whole contraption is inherently top-heavy and could easily be knocked over by misstake. That’s why I’m looking for a “ring stand”. ---

I bought one a while back, but searching on Amazon for “paint filter ring stand” gave me several results. This is the type I got at the time: > **[Amazon.com: Strainer Stand for Cone Style Strainers : Home & Kitchen](https://www.amazon.com/Strainer-Stand-Cone-Style-Strainers/dp/B00M42W078)** > > Buy Strainer Stand for Cone Style Strainers: Food Strainers - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases ---
