This cost about $40 and arrived in about a week. It appears to be well made. The first major issue is going to be the diameter, 7.75 inches (this does not match Tyler, they measure 8 inches). Another issue is that it is not as tall, creating a greater chance of spillover. The bottom flange is not as wide, that could be a problem if the sieve needs to stay firmly locked in place in a shaker.

This is the brainchild Kirk Miller at Plainsman Clays. I made the drawing based on one that he made. It sits on top of a 5-gallon pail (the bolts sit into slots cut down from the rim). 3D rings must be printed to slide down onto the metal hoop and they must create an inner diameter that enables the lab sieve to seat securely.
