Would you really need two layers? I don't have any macaroni bricks handy,
but from what I remember (and from LDraw), you should be able to replace
the second-to-last 4x4 cylinder brick with 4 macaroni bricks, and then put
the final 4x4 cylinder back on, with a 45-degree rotation.
If if you replaced the technic cross-axle with two shorter cross-axles, you
could still put the 3x3x2 cone on backwards, to be more prototypical.
