"Still, even after
 building a few cheap versions from plastic cups, I'd gladly
 spend some money on a better one as mine keeps falling apart
 after a few uses."

I use the clear SOLO cup version as described by Randy Oliver on his site with one modification.  Rather than trying to melt the plastic to the screen I use Gorilla brand polyurethane glue.  Where the glue will be on the plastic I rough the plastic with sand paper, then fit the screen in and put two of three drops of glue on the screen where it will go thru the screen and wet the plastic.  After the first round has cured put some more glue on so most of the periphery of the screen is glued down.  I have used one such cup for three years and the glue is still holding the screen in place just fine.
