In this tutorial you'll learn how to make an origami Menger Sponge step by step.
The Menger Sponge is a three dimensional fractal that you can build from my basic origami Cube unit, the same one used in the Moving Cubes, Rubik’s Cube, Infinity Cube and others from the cube series. Each cube is made from a single square sheet of paper and everything is connected without glue nor tape.

► DIFFICULTY LEVEL: simple

► MY PAPER:
12cm x 12cm origami paper for each cube
The number of units in a Menger Sponge grows exponentially and limitless. As you can see below, it grows so quickly that I doubt someone would do a level 3 or bigger:
● Level 0: 1 sheet (a simple cube)
● Level 1: 20 sheets (the one made in the tutorial)
● Level 2: 400 sheets (shown in the video - make 20 level-1 sponges and assemble it the same way!)
● Level 3: 8.000 sheets (make 20 level-2 sponges and assemble it the same way!)
● Level n: 20^n sheets
