** Customizing

The built-in customizer in openscad can be used to easily tweak
settings. A few presets that I used are included.

** Print orientation

Use Cura or Slic3r "align to face" feature to lay the mouth of the
horn on the print bed.

** Print Settings

Intended to be printed hollow:

 - 0 bottom layers
 - 0 top layers
 - 0% infill
 - 0.2mm or lower layer height

Did not have great luck with vase mode @ 0.2mm layer height (overhang
near end of horn was too great and there were gaps), but might be
worth a shot at 0.1mm.

*** PETG

Using a prusa mini with a 0.4mm nozzle @ 0.2mm layer height, I needed
six perimeters to make the horn watertight. Also needed to make the
final 10-15mm of the horn solid.

** Guidance on making model watertight
