Description
Useful tool to demonstrate the four conic sections. Add a piece of paper to show an interesting plane!
Magnets are 8mm x 3mm (diameter x depth).
The hardest / most fragile part is the middle. To support it and prevent it from easily breaking when it is inevitably dropped, I printed it at 80% infill and left cylinder which I placed a 3.5mm nail through. Rest of the parts can be printed at any infill, but best to stay on the lighter side.
