Hi Marcel,
I do not care what they say about you, you are amazing.
I was re-reading the script several million times, and did not notice the problem. Thank you.
I know that the syntax is not checked, your guide is clear about it.
Yes, I do have the physical device. And yes, I am trying to re-create the shape as best as I can to compare the simulation with measurement. However, with my already demonstrated incompetence, it will be a while.
The reason for creating the STL file is two-fold. I am learning the different features of Ath and I want to generate a profile in a CAD to compare it with the physical device as noted above, so I can have as good a model for the simulation. Since Ath does not support the universal *.dxf format, and I do not use Fusion, I am trying to figure out the best manner of doing it.
Kindest regards,
M

In CAD programs there's typically a possibility to import X,Y[,Z] data form the text files Ath creates. You would have to experiment. I know it's possible with LibreCAD (free), I used that myself. Then it's easy to save that as DXF.
You can try PLA and make very thick wall like 2cm and low infill 10-15%.
e.g. two perimeters and 150% width for infill. It will be stiff (high resonance low decay)
What programs do you have or can use? Maybe I can tell you how to do it with them.
This has been my experience. I made some smaller prototype waveguides using the same construction as the ones my speakers (Plaster over MDF), but with an unconstrained edge (i.e. not built into a cabinet). The prototypes ring quite a bit more than the final product. It makes intuitive sense—A bell rings much less if you constrain the lip.
How much do the sand prints ring? Like an actual bell? A ceramic vase? It'd be interesting to see if the ringing can be seen in the measurements.
I don't know, perhaps. You can define almost anything as an independent function of the angle around the axis, I guess it should not be a problem but I of course don't know anything about this particular shape.

Hi Fluid,
thank you for the offer. I am using AutoCAD R14 and Solidworks.

Not bell but more like pottery. I'd like to perform some measurements where it would show up. Apparently these will be quite high Q resonances.
Perhaps it won't be so easy to excite them by the radiating sound from the waveguide itself, I don't know. That would be good news, I suppose.
Otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with the results so far.
