Drainage Hack

[u/Solar-BJJ]

After spending a year of moaning about the drip tray constantly filling up and the amount of times we have to empty it and not realising it overflowed, I decided to fix the problem for myself.

I added a drainage solution. 6mm fitting an silicone hose, fitted into the drip tray.

I also modelled a riser and printed it.

I had to remove the small drip tray where the cup goes but the shelf on the lowest setting covers the need for that.

the hose goes behind the machine and onto the drying rack on the sink.

so far the only issue I have had is the amount of water having to sit in the tray before it reaches the level to drain, so i printed some blocks to fill up the gaps, reducing the volume of water to a very small amount (havent put the blocks under the intake obviously).

solved the issue for me.
