I learned that impedance matching is a thing for sound and thought it could be applied to fireworks.  So I made this.  Testing was successful, it noticeably increased the sound of firecrackers.  It has part of a soda can in the bottom to keep the PLA from melting, but otherwise didn’t need assembly. 

I have only tested this on small firecrackers (1/4” diameter, 1 ¼” long) and would not recommend using anything larger, at least not without testing at a distance.  As always when fireworks are involved, please take reasonable safety measures.  Don’t point this horn at nearby people.  Just place on the ground, place a string of firecrackers (or a single firecracker) in the bottom, light the fuse, and step away. 

Printing and assembly instructions are in the guide document.
