In addition to the models presented below, there are some Menger Sponges in the business card origami page.

Menger Sponge (level 1) Made from Sonobe module (72 modules).

Menger Sponge (level 1½) Made from Robert Neale's penultimate module (144 modules). Thanks to the modules' shape, this model looks like a level 2 Menger sponge even though it is actually only level 1.

	Sierpinski Tetrahedron (level 3) Made from Nick Robinson's trimodule (128 modules and 126 links). The links were made from narrow rectangular straps of paper by folding two flat pentagonal knots on each.

Koch Snowflake (level 1) Made from Nick Robinson's trimodule (12 modules).

Koch Snowflake (level 2) Made from Nick Robinson's trimodule (72 modules).

3D Koch Snowflake (level 2) Made from Nick Robinson's trimodule (72 modules). This fractal is an analogue of the standard Koch snowflake. Level 0 is a tetrahedron. In each iteration, a tetrahedron with half the edge length is placed in the middle of each triangular face.
