26mm Level 3 Menger sponge

thingiverse

The model showcased is a carefully modified rendition of Owen's support-free Menger sponge design, where the base has been expertly adjusted to lie perfectly flat on the build platform. This subtle tweak ensures that no minute protrusions develop during the printing process, resulting in a sturdy model that rests steadily atop the printer. Built using a versatile selection of materials and 3D printing machines, the design showcases its robust nature as it's tested with a range of technologies: PLA in conjunction with an Afinia H-Series printer, MakerBot Mini, an Afinia H-Series printer utilizing ABS plastic, and the impressive MakerBot Replicator 2.
