As an alternate to the sliding door outlet, you could use a second, smaller tap to regulate the out-flow.

Hi,

The slit is located Approx. 1,5 cm (1/2") from the bottom. The reason behind the sliding door is that it is easier to dump the remaining water, in the holding tank, after a printing session 🙂.
