And if you wanted 'weight' in a plastic printed model you could print
it hollow and fill it with lead shot.


Or print in a metal filed plastic.


Have you done that?


What printer do you have OOI?


A CTC dual.


Ooo, a wooden one. ;-)

I guess they would be pretty rigid and the fact they are partly
enclosed (and easier to fully enclose) better for printing ABS and the
more temperature / cooling sensitive plastics?

What about noise / resonance though. The MendelMax is pretty quiet.
