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?

    When wanting more weight, but not wanting to add anything extra to the print, I use modifiers in Prusaslicer to add an internal shape that I set to 100% infill in contrast to the rest of the print. So if I want a weighted bottom to prevent a printed object from tipping over, just throw the modifier in with 100% infill at the bottom of the model before printing.
