Thanks for all the reactions and useful info! Cutting in the tray for a basket to lower the scale (Panthecnician) sounds heavy. I always do a post and pre flush and then you have to remove the scale. Not optimal for a good workflow. The stem option looks ok. A friend of mine is heavy into 3d printing. Maybe model a stem and print it. But the material has to be solid and stiff. I keep you posted on my progress. - Pieter
