Ellipse Gauge

Ancient Greek mathematicians discovered the ellipse by drawing conic sections in the sand. During the Renaissance, scholars like da Vinci invented early ellipse-drawing tools for art and architecture. Later, engineers developed metal ellipsographs with slides for precision in mechanical drawing.

Today, we can use 3D printers to create this math tool, turning it into an awesome educational tool.
