There are six regular convex polytopes in 4D, which are analogous to the five Platonic solids in 3D. This is the fifth, the hyperdodecahedron, a remarkably beautiful object brought to my attention by George Hart.

Here it's shown in a Schlegel diagram so you can see all 120 dodecahedral cells, though most are transformed by perspective: in this projection, the only regular dodecahedra are the biggest one on the outside and the tiniest one at the center.

A bigger model is here.

I just got this in the mail a few days ago, and I have to say it's darn awesome. I got it in White Strong & Flexible Polished, and it is just a joy to behold while shining a light through it. Thank you so much!

I have a strong urge to say that this is not a 4d object, simply a 4d one printed onto a 3d plane. Trolling aside, I am a huge geometry geek, and while I prefer your gyroid, this one is certainly on my list.
