Nearly choked when I saw the cost of the name brand kit. I 3D printed the cup and used a $2 section of fuel hose. In it for less than $15 to include the fluid. Flushed the brakes as I would working on my car.

well
you shoul d have removed the wheel, pads, and blocked your calipers before doing any of that
Pretty sure you need a syringe to push fluid back up these levers and need bleed blocks and to remove your pads, but congrats on saving money and doing it wrong?
Also this post is gonna get deleted by the mods: “questions Only – Unless your post is a question about bike repair, it doesn’t belong here.”
Good job on printing the kit.
Though non name brand are quite affordable. Park tools is very expensive

What did you use for the syringe?
There’s a store on Etsy called bleed zone that sells kits for like $15
