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?

    My solution has been pennies. They’re cheap and and easy to get. Since they are a fixed size, it’s really easy to model a cavity for them in your slicer. You can also leave them in their rolls for bigger projects.

      How much would you say that adds to the cost of the print? Just ballpark it for me please 😉

        Well, this is how you horde them for when they become novelties at some point in the future.
