Space hopper
Rising Star
Two jam jars one with a top slightly bigger than the other. Precip in the smaller one pour into the bigger one and duct tape them both together to make air tight. Back in the freezer job done.

This can be achieved minus the gaffer tape (and with a lower height requirement) by allowing the crystals to drain into the lid of the jar, which you will have lined with aluminium foil already. These last drips can then be poured off into the jar of left over solvent afterwards. Keep the lid on while the crystal jar warms up to room temperature. Thus the crystals are exposed to less solvent vapour while warming up than they would be if left suspended over a jar full of solvent.
The necessary act of removing the gaffer (duct) tape in your setup seems to me to be too much opportunity for things to go wrong.
