What are you basing this on?I think there will always be some reflection at the driver/throat interface.
It was shown in this thread many times.
With Ath & ABEC it's a simple exercise.

That's not what I said. The zero-mode reflection can be managed. It's being done all the time.
- What's still not very clear to me, however, is how it relates to an area expansion rate. Since there probably can be a reflection even without an area change (like in a bended tube or similar), I guess it's not really the same thing.

No, it's a regular print. It's just an OS-based shape, there's really no reason to use anything else I think. The continuously decreasing curvature being an advantage, it's almost zero at the exit.

That print quality is unreal. What size nozzle and filament?
The trick is in bad photo quality
- That was an easy (one-perimeter) print, 0.6 mm nozzle, 0.25 (0.2?) mm layer height. Standard PLA stuff.
How do you plan to connect the print to the board? Add a lip on the print to help?
Yea, I should have explained it better. There's a seam (so not a vase mode) but it's one perimeter.So it was one perimeter print, but not vase mode?
- This was the fastest and easiest way to see&touch the actual shape in its scale. It's not the final form of course - that will have a mouting lip, etc.
As it is it could be already used as a mold basis I guess.

It's the "gyroid" infill (maybe 5%?) in Prusa slicer, PLA. Yeah, it's easy to fill.

You can use anything that gets not too hot during curing... otherwise about anything will work I guess.

This is the structure. I'm not willing to share the actual numbers, sorry - too much work, too little reward.

It does.The acoustic impedance doesn't care if the shape is a square or a circle or a transitioning form...
The simplest and shortest answer is: "The acoustic impedance Z is the property of a particular geometry and medium."But how?
