Looking for a foghorn to use for my marklaying team to inform sailboat racers of a course change. Looked at a lot - they were either not robust or not loud.
This really just two parts - the horn and the cap. Need to add a small piece of something as a diagphragm and then the cap is a tight fit to secure it. I used various things but a bit of a polythene bag heled tightly over the end of the horn - then jam on the cap and trim off the excess. Works well and really loud.
There are two lengths of horn here - the bigger one is only fractionally louder than the smaller one. I also designed a trumpet which can be pushed over the diagphram end of the horn to divert the sound away from your own ears. Not neccessary but I designed it and some may use it.
The BYC lettering is not in the .stl attached - I added that for my own Yacht Club in Bambu Studio.
Printed in PLA with 15% fill. Horns printed upright,,Cap printed with the grill down, neither need support. The trumppet needs turned
