Business Card Menger Sponge, with Christmas lights
At 3456 units, this is a labor-intensive, but very satisfying to fold model which I made in 2013. Some people have managed to go as far as level 3, but even level 2 was quite challenging. About halfway through this model, I got interested more in other things, and it spent about half a year in partially finished state before I continued.
Business cards 5×9 cm in size were used to fold this piece. Placed side by side, they would cover an area of over 15 m², the size of a large room. Due to large size (almost half a meter edge length), this model has to be stored on the floor, causing inconvenience. On the other hand, it seems children enjoy pushing it around and hiding toys in its numerous holes. Since it’s a modular design, it’s relatively easy to repair any damage as long as you still have some business cards from the original set lying around as spare parts (cards from a different set will usually differ at least a little in color).
This year, I wrapped the model in Christmas lights. Original images from 2013 are available on my site at origami.kosmulski.org/models/menger-sponge-level-2-busine... but I didn’t publish them on social media.
