johncarlosbaez, (edited ) Costa Talalaev gave me a fractal: a 3-dimensional Sierpinski gasket!
He made it using the 3d printer at the Hacklab, a makerspace here in Edinburgh. It was a bit hard to make since it's held together only at tiny spots. He had to build something with more plastic, a kind of scaffolding, and then tear that off. The end result is very light yet sturdy.
