If I understand correctly you want to save the resin stuck on the print and BP after the print is finished ? If so take a look at that : > [@Form 2 Build Plate Drip Holder](http://forum.formlabs.com/t/form-2-build-plate-drip-holder/18095): > > I took and modified a STL print available here for draining the build plate of excess resin after a print. That one just held the plate at a flat angle so the resin dripped off an entire edge. Mine runs the resin to a corner and I fell drains a lot more of the resin. It still needs some work on the top corner support but otherwise it works real good. [Build%20Plate%20Holder] This is the old one. Here’s my newer design. [Build%20Plate%20Support%20in%20use] I have plans for a second Form 2 in… Doesn’t work for the tallest prints but worth a look. If your print doesn’t have any minima you should really not get any bits to filter, and I would pour the resin straight back into the tank. I don’t care about the resin stuck on the parts, but if I print a small part I still use the scraper to scrape off the resin stuck on the BP and pour is straight into the tank (from the BP, I scrape gently so at to not put aluminium bits into the tank). In case you really want to pour into a container, then back into the tank, then use a black, opaque container with a somewhat airtight lid and you won’t have to store the container in a dark room 😉 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.formlabs.com/t/how-to-deal-with-the-resin-in-tank-after-print-finished/23387)._
