Nope, on two of my different forums!

An update: I've made another one of these for a different member a few months back. Almost the same as the first one.

Right now I'm in the middle of printing my 3rd one. I purchased "gold" filament and am giving it a try.

Another thing I did differently: I designed an open cavity in the print so I could easily put car tire weights in it instead of trying to sneak copper BB's into the infill spaces. Doing so was MUCH MUCH easier. I didn't have to stop the print or sit there for 20 minutes putting BB's in one at a time:

From CNN... Ther have been multiple reports of cars seen wavering on the main highway today as driver fought to keep control of their steering. Police have confirmed they are looking for a man who ran away after being challenged by a car owner who spotted him levering off a balance weight.

The description is vague but he was carrying several plastic chickens and clucking to himself as he fled the scene

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"To steal some balance weights"

1st step in a very lengthy process has begun for our THIRD member to hit 100k posts!

Printing the base and adding weights embedded inside to give it a more stable feel!

(interesting to compare the orientation I did with the same weights in the last print a few posts back)

Also, this time I'm using the "adaptive layer height" option in Cura:
