Do you have any experience doing so?
I have a project coming up where I would like to print a large object and fill it with sand and resin.
Sand, as we all know is coarse, rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. So it’s good filler material.
Afterwards I want to solidify it by adding resin, hoping that it gets everywhere as well.
What other materials are usable? Perhaps concrete but it can’t really dry inside a printed object right?
The infill should be Gyroid with 10% with at least 3 perimeters IMO. Would something like tree infill work as well? Or removable infill? I’m not sure how to get a slicer to do that though.
I intend to build parts for a CNC machine so I value weight and rigidity in this project.
I watched a video a year or two ago about a guy printing a lathe, which he filled with concrete.
It ended up being kinda shit iirc
If you’re thinking of the same guy I am, he revisited it with everything he learned from the first one and still uses it for his projects =)

I think that’s it. My original comment probably came off as judgey/rude, any functional machine from scratch is a triumph
