A technique for adding weight to 3D prints using plaster of Paris is shared. The approach involves designing a hollow cavity into the base of the object, then filling it with a plaster-water mixture after printing.

This method avoids pausing prints to insert hardware, requires no epoxy or resin, and is inexpensive compared to other weighting methods.
