Summary

Probably far from the most efficient way to get the 2D drawings, but during my experimentation with making my Menger Sponges I decided to see how deep I could get with the simpler geometry of a Sierpinski carpet. I got up to 5 on a single Solidworks part, but had to export that and reimport/tile the parasolid to reach 6. As you can see in the images I used a lasercutter on some birch squares (about 1/8" thick) to cut out the level 5.

I included the STL exports as well because why not. If you want an STL that's thicker (I arbitrarily made the parts .125" thick) or something and can't do it yourself I can tweak the parts pretty easily (except the level 6, that'd be a little tricky, but I could try). Haven't used the STLs for anything myself.
