This looks pretty good when l3p'd, but your use of spheres at the junction
points of the cones is problematic in ldraw (ldlite, etc). If you use the
part with a transparent color, or just use ldlite's wireframe mode, you will
see that edgelines are drawn all the way around the spheres.
For modeling the "elbows" where the cones intersect, I would suggest using a
couple pairs of 2-4cyls.dat's. The cyls.dat is a cylinder cut off at a 45
deg. angle, but by playing with the y- component of the matrix you can get
the smaller angle of your turns. Flip one of the pairs of cyls.dats so that
the cut ends intersect, and you'll have a nice elbow with circular ends to
match the cones.
