Iterated Squares
For this assignment, I was to create a print of some sort of iterated function to observe the pattern of the function after so many iterations. In order to do this I used OpenSCAD for my code which then allowed me to export my object into STL format and using the Cura slicer software I sent it to the ultimaker printer via USB. I unfortunately am unable to remember exactly how long my object took to print but it was several hours on the ultimaker. I used 15% infill and included a brim to insure buildplate adhesion. As seen in the picture of my final print, there was no need for me to implement any supports.

In order to make this object in OpenSCAD, I first created a module that contained the polygon command using only 4 sides to create a square. This then got linearly extruded to create what would be my base shape. I then implemented anothe
