I have the bbs hatching ring and I think the collector cup/sieve is getting dirty/clogged. I am soaking it in vinegar but other cleaning tips?

The cup quickly gets clogged. I keep my hatchery next to my reef tank and the little cup doesn't drain much so when I transfer the bs to the tank it leaks all over.

Cleaning doesn't seem to help. So, I 3D printed up my own little cup, with no screen in the bottom (I don't mind transferring the saltwater with the bs). And it works great now! I you want the STL file to print your own:
