Original creator description

Continuing the development of the Menger sponge models, and encouraged by mathgrrl , this OpenSCAD script combines the cut and external support options and adds the ability to change the size and choose the order/level up to 3. Feb 6 update - added two more capabilities to the script: a combination of cut and supported, to print a half-cube with the cut side facing up for folks with difficulty removing the finished object from their printbeds, an option for an order zero cube - just a plain cube, no holes - so you can make a set showing the progression from cube to fractal. This hosted file keeps creator credit and license details.
