This design boasts multiple components that seamlessly fit together on a stand to form a cone as depicted in the picture. A circle, an ellipse, a parabola, and a hyperbola are all meticulously incorporated. The inspiration behind this design stems from a Khan Academy video - https://www.khanacadulary.org/math/precalculus/x9e81a4f98389efdf:conics/x9e81a4f98389efdf:conics-intro/v/introduction-to-conic-sections A future iteration of this design may eliminate the slices and connect the pieces directly, resulting in five components with two featuring a circle and a hyperbola, while another three will have one section on one side and the next piece on the other, for instance, a piece showcasing a circle on one side and an ellipse on the other.
