Transducer Labs waveguides
So I scored a pair of carbon fiber TL tweeters with the rectangular faceplates - sweet cosmetic match for the Rival CF drivers I have been hoarding - but I do not like the faceplates.
Has anyone done any work with waveguides? I spoke with Dan briefly and will do so again this weekend, but I was wondering if anyone else had done anything. My goal is a 2.5 way tower, so I would be looking for an 8" guide. I will grab a couple of those grills this weekend at Meniscus and pull a faceplate off of a different pair I have (some ceramic or anodized aluminum version) and can send it to whomever is willing to help design and possible fabricate said waveguide.
Thanks in advance, guys!

At one time Brandon (augerpro) had a 3D printed waveguide for the N26C. See https://htguide.com/forum/forum/mission-possible-diy/42696-transducer-lab-tweeters-waveguide
He has threads going over at PETT and diyaudio.
Heads up, the Dome does not separate from the faceplate. Just so you are aware.

Not sure which Dan you mean, but Dan Ne u b e c k e r used the transducer labs in a waveguide in the Echelon project.

I have plenty of prybars and hammers.
I'm guessing he's referring to Dan P not Dan N.
Not a raaaaaaaaaaaal
I just looked at a pair of ceramic dome TL tweeters and I don't believe that it's necessary to remove the face, due to the construction the dome is flush with the face plate.
Dan N's waveguide were made by Dave Pellegrene. I asked him about it a while ago. He doesn't have the extras any longer and Pellegrene is out of the waveguide business AFAIK.
One other option I'd to try and modify a pair of the seos waveguides from DIYSG.
I had thought about those, but I have enough trouble routing rebates for round drivers!
Also, I am looking primarily for diffraction control rather than a bass boost. A shallow waveguide plus large round-overs is my goal.
I'd contact Brandon as he's still very active with waveguides and would supply the 3D printer files. And perhaps someone here could print you the waveguides for a minimal fee. Here's his results: https://diyaudio.com/community/threads/open-source-waveguides-for-cnc-3d-printing.318190/page-3#post-5348490
