The cutouts can be filled with lead or steel shot, or plaster, etc.  to give the base some extra weight. I used lead pellets and filled the remaining space with black tinted epoxy.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I wanted to use taller LED profiles, and so needed a way to make the base heavier and thus better suited for longer LED profiles.  I created cutouts in the original design to allow filling with something heavy - plaster, steel pellets, lead pellets, etc,. , and extended the sleeve that holds the v-profile to give the longer aluminum profiles some additional support. 

I also added a recess  in the electronics cover where an INMP411 digital mic  can be placed, for those people who want a sound reactive controller.

STEP file included for those who want to modify further.
