5th order Sierpi?ski curve

thingiverse

The text describes a 5th order Sierpinski curve, which has been extruded along the Z axis. This information was sourced from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpi%C5%84ski_curve). The author shares their process of creating an STL file using a modified BASIC program from Creative Computing magazine's July 1984 edition, originally designed for use with Chipmunk Basic on Mac. They explain how they saved the coordinates of each line's end points in a text file, then used Inkscape to create a blank SVG file and populate it with polygons based on these coordinates. The resulting SVG file was loaded into Inkscape and exported as an Open SCAD file before being converted to an STL file. A link to the original BASIC source code is provided, along with rudimentary documentation for its use.
