It’s not just weight but friction. Depending on the flooring you could add a rubber pad to the bottom of the piece to help. If you do go the cavity route, steel washers are pretty cheap and would be heavy, or as someone else suggested, some lead weights will work.
China accounts for 30% of global emissions and, granted the states is half that, but they are still number 2. Also, the per capita number suggest that it would be easier for the individual to make a difference in the states.
Arguably a lot of China’s emissions come from industry. As America has outsourced a lot of it’s Industry to places like China these emission stats are probably somewhat warped.

Nice, how different does it sound to a modern one?
I saw a tip for paint recently that I haven’t tried yet, but it might work here too. If you get some painters tape and make a V over the top it acts as a spout and it never gets on the threads
A quick search for 2 channel 24v fan controller yealded the below link. Not saying this is ideal for your scenario but something similar will work and can be powered with a power brick. Doesn’t look like it comes with instructions though so I’m not sure what current it requires. The temperature sensor could work to make it turn on when the printer heats up as well.

I disagree that the main reason is thermal runaway. It is more likely to be underrated components that can’t handle the current. This would not be immediately apparent and does usually come from lower quality printers.
I loath getting on my high horse, but don’t take things from forests unless they are explicitly there for the taking or you have permission from someone. The odd small item here and there may not seem significant but if everybody did it it would have a significant impact.
Voron allow you to configure a printer and the provide a spreadsheet suggesting the sources for buying the parts. They aren’t region specific but most of the vendors are multinational.
This is my course of action with anything I buy.
I wish I had the time to do this but I look forward to the entries.
I don’t want to be preachy but I’d like to take this opportunity to draw everyone’s attention to the sustainability of rare hardwoods.
I could talk at length about the socioeconomic impact of rare hardwoods as well as the environmental impact, but to keep it short, the wood database has a good article on the sustainability of darkwoods.

Another useful method is drilling out the hole and filling it with matchsticks and wood glue. Let it dry, cut it flat and rescrew the hole. It takes a while longer to dry but I think it might be more secure than hot glue.
I think it depends on how much you are willing to maintain it and if you are flexible on the types of materials you use. Where you live will have a significant impact as well, if you live near the sea up north then you are going to have a harder time than if you live inland in the south.
BLO works but you will have to maintain it regularly and how regularly depends on the weather.
You can use specific wood types that work well outside; pressure treated timber starts off looking a blue/green colour but fades to a silver and won’t need looking after for a long time. Teak is the classic option for outdoor furniture as it’s naturally resistant to pests and erosion, it’s an exotic hard wood though so not the most sustainable. White oak is resistant to rot as well but isn’t easily available. . Any of these with an annual coat of BLO will probably keep them looking new, if you don’t mind them becoming more rustic then you can leave it for longer.

I’ve not got experience with repairs like this but I would cut the lifted veneer with a very sharp knife, scrape any adhesive off the back and out of the hole and reglue with lots of pressure from something flat with as much weight as you can get on it. It won’t be perfect but it will be flat again.
Looks like walnut to me, maybe American black walnut?
I like the icon.
Sounds like a good decision. Good luck!
I honestly think this is the worst use case for a 3d printer. The part isn’t improved by printing. You can buy the part easily. The cost of modelling time and printing is more than the replacement. There’s a decent chance the replacement part would have arrived quicker than the print took… Sorry to be a bore, it’s better than an octopus or another benchy, I’ll give you that.
