120 Cell Schlegel Diagram (colored)

This is the 120 cell using a cell-first perspective projection. The 120 cell (a.k.a. dodecaplex or hyperdodecahedron) is the most complex of the six 4D regular polytopes, consisting of 120 dodecahedron cells (3D "sides"), 720 pentagonal faces, 1200 edges, and 600 vertices.

Some details for this particular model:

• The projection point was selected such that it is a Schlegel diagram, meaning that the eye is just outside of one the dodecahedron cells. This makes the closest cell look like it surrounds the rest of the object. All 120 dodecahedron can be seen in this figure.
• The colors represent the coordinate in the 4th dimension that is collapsed during the projection. Red represents the farthest point from the eye (so the smallest internal dodecahedron is red), purple represents the closest point from the eye, and various internal structures range from orange to blue.
• Outer edges are thicker to improve strength of the print, while inner edges are thinner to improve viewing of internal features.
