I’ve never found an elegant solution to add weight to prints. What are your favorite ways? What’s the best cost/weight ratio? Weight to space? Cost/weight/space balance?

    Not exactly the densest material out there, but pennies are cheap and easily procured. May not be quite what you’re looking for for your use case. (You asked about “cost/weight ratio” and “weight to space” which makes it sound like you’re looking to add a lot of weight.)

    I’ve been known to make a fully-enclosed cylindrical cavity and set my slicer to pause at exactly the right layer to where I can drop a few stacks of pennies into the print before upper layers seal the cavity closed.
