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?

    Tire balancing weights as others have said.

    I have also used sand by pausing the print then filling up some of the voids left by infill. But you have to be really careful because you don’t want it in you belts or motors. I usually put the sand in a reusable condiment squeeze bottle from the dollar store and also use a small funnel to make extra sure its going where I want. I don’t fill all the way to the top and make sure all the fans around the printer are off while filling so they don’ blow it around… use tire weights if you can.
