I've been shooting my current setup with a single 9" Trophy Ridge static stabilizer for quite a while now without issues. However recently I upgraded my rest to a Hamskea limb driven drop away and the added weight was just enough (in combination with my quiver and sight) to make my bow feel overly lopsided when at full draw. It shouldn't make much of a difference on those close range shots however I noticed I was struggling to stay consistent at range (60+ yards).
It was at this point that I figured a side bar couldn't hurt until I looked up the prices for stabilizer kits. After spending a sizeable chunk of cash on a new rest I couldn't justify the additional cost of of a stabilizer setup. Fortunately with a 3D printer and a half hour or so playing around on Fustion 360, I was able to come up with the following monstrosity.
In addition to the 3D printed end caps you'll need the following:

In addition to the 3D printed end caps you'll need the following:
- 19mm x 15mm carbon fiber tube
- 1 1/2" 5/16-24 bolt
- 5/16-24 Heat-set Insert
- 5/16-24 x 2" Socket set screw
- Stabilizer weights
