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 😉
I mean, it depends on how much weight you want to add.
According to the internet, a penny weighs 2.5g or 0.088oz. A roll of pennies costs 50c and adds 125g or 4.4oz.
Some prints I’ve added just a few pennies to, and some a few rolls. It just depends what you need.
Well, this is how you horde them for when they become novelties at some point in the future.
