I have a small home-built blast cabinet that works well and that I'm
generally satisfied with. My biggest dissatisfaction is changing the
medium*. It's a PITA job getting the current medium out of all the
corners and edges, to avoid it getting mixed with its replacement. I'd
like to retrofit something to make it easier & faster. Especially to
make it faster.

Does anybody have a "system" for this?

Does your cabinet have the trap door at the bottom of the funnel? This makes it
very easy to quickly dump the abrasive, then blow around the cabinet with
an air hose while the trap door is still open to flush out any remaining
particles. You can buy them from TP Tools if you need one:
