Question on Wave Guide for DIY Projects

Out of curiosity, can the wave guide you are selling be used without the back cup for open baffle?

Not without affecting the response of the tweeter.

Just for my Curiosity, what would be the benefit of that?

And if redrawn / spec'd properly, could be used for someone to build an NX-Studio from scratch.  With a 3D printer, someone could build an NX-Studio enclosure on their own from the wood of their choosing.  Save some money also and drive down the cost of the kit.

I could make use of that 3D printer file right now to save an NX-Studio... 

Idea: Could even 3D scan Danny's waveguide with his "sandpaper mod" to the edges of the guide.  Once printed, everyone could have a waveguide Danny "modified for them".

Thanks. Is it possible to 3D print a similar waveguide like the one used for the NX OB speakers?
