A mostly accurate, functional replica of the loser call horn from Spongebob. I don't know whether to be proud or disappointed with myself for actually finishing this thing.

Designed in Onshape: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6e935e892ba332bc5269b52a/w/72d6bb9cb5c9e26ca31148a1/e/5e4a5c052545e986018067b1?renderMode=0&uiState=652af2d278529873df827817 

Code here: https://github.com/tylercamp/spongebob-horn 

Printing parts list:

  • 100g+ white filament for mouthpiece (optimal color #EAEAEA) - I just used generic white
  • 500g+ red filament for everything else that's visible (optimal color #AE1922) - I used this
  • Super-lube for the threads (optional)
  • 1x “Mouthpiece”
  • 1x "Body"
    • If not adding electronics, use “Body (no power button)”
  • 1x “Cap” and 1x “Speaker Platform”, super glue them together
    • OR 1x “Cap+Speaker Platform”, but the thin plastic holding the speaker in tends to print poorly and gets ripped off along with the supports
    • If not adding electronics, use “Cap + Speaker Platform (no speaker)”
  • If using electronics:
    • 1x "Speaker Retainer"
    • 1x “Electronics Platform”
    • 2x “Electronics Platform Retainer”

Other parts list if adding electronics:

For parts that are no longer available, modify the part dimensions in the “Ref” folder to match what you have personally. The rest of the design will update automatically.

Could be made smaller but I had trouble neatly fitting the electronics. (Go to the Onshape link above and modify "Vars/Inputs/FullHornLength”, everything else will be scaled appropriately.) The current size (220mm length, excluding mouthpiece) is about the correct scale for a “real-life spongebob".

Designed to print on 0.6mm nozzle. Can change “Vars/Inputs/Printer Settings/PrintLineWidthMM” to your nozzle size, but I've only tested 0.6mm. Can use any layer height, though I've found 0.4mm is the max for the threads to print consistently.

The GitHub link at the beginning has info on how to use it if electronics are added.
