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?

Drop a penny or two. Or a nut. Stainless steel ones seem heavier. But cost more.
Just make a cavity in your print. Pause before it closes up. Drop the weight in. Also I pause and put in some glue when I drop it in so it doesn’t roll around inside.
You could also make cutouts for pennies or nuts on the bottom and glue them in after the print finishes.
There is a Lego phone holder that does the cavity.

Hope that helps.
I made this. Used nuts cause I didn’t have any pennies. Worked pretty well.
