It drains into a condensate pump which then pumps it into the drain. I'm thinking the cloth is there to help prevent the pump from building up a bunch of stuff. I had the same idea about using plastic shortly after making this post. I 3d printed a 2mm thick plastic thing that clipped onto the bottom to raise it up slightly. So far it seems to be working fine.

Ah okay, mine drains straight down into a drain in the floor (via gravity).

I thought about how 3d printing could help, but not everyone has access to such goods yet so I didn't mention it.

Hope it works!
