Every regular four-dimensional shape, ready to print
There are exactly six regular convex shapes in four dimensions: the 5-cell, the tesseract, the 16-cell, the 24-cell, the 120-cell and the 600-cell. This set has all six as print-ready STL files, plus the 48-cell, in one matching style.
Each one is a perspective (Schlegel) projection into 3D: one outer cell surrounds the rest, so no tubes cross. The tubes thicken from 2.4 mm at the centre to 6.0 mm on the outside, so the inner cells stay open and the shape reads in depth. Nothing is trimmed flat, so every piece is symmetric top and bottom.
| 5-cell | 60 mm and 100 mm |
| Tesseract | 60 mm (handheld), 100 mm and 200 mm (sculpture) |
| 16-cell | 60 mm and 110 mm |
| 24-cell | 110 mm |
| 48-cell | 125 mm |
| 120-cell | 230 mm (needs a 250 mm bed) |
| 600-cell | 240 mm (needs a 250 mm bed) |
The 60 mm tesseract and 110 mm 24-cell were test-printed on a Bambu Lab P2S, and their Bambu Studio projects are included. The README lists the settings for every file: PLA, 0.20 mm layers (0.16 mm for the 120-cell and 600-cell), 3 walls, 15% gyroid infill and tree supports everywhere.
Just want one? The 60 mm tesseract is also sold on its own. For renders, wallpapers and vector files of 15 four-dimensional shapes, see the 4D Polytope Pack.
Common Questions
11 print-ready STL files: the 5-cell (60 and 100 mm), the tesseract (60, 100 and 200 mm), the 16-cell (60 and 110 mm), the 24-cell (110 mm), the 48-cell (125 mm), the 120-cell (230 mm) and the 600-cell (240 mm). Plus Bambu Studio projects for the two test-printed pieces, a README with print settings and a size chart.
The 60 mm tesseract and the 110 mm 24-cell were printed on a Bambu Lab P2S, and their exact projects are in the download. Every file was checked as a single watertight solid with the right number of holes, and every gap between tubes is wide enough to print.
Most pieces fit a 180 mm bed and the 200 mm tesseract needs 210 mm. The 120-cell and 600-cell are 230 and 240 mm across, so they need a bed of at least 250 × 250 mm, like a Bambu Lab P1S, X1 or P2S. Don't rescale them: the tube thickness is chosen for each size.
They are the most demanding: long prints with supports inside the inner cells. Use 0.16 mm layers and tree supports everywhere, and a support-interface filament makes removal much easier if you have one. The smaller shapes are straightforward.
A polychoron is a four-dimensional polytope, the 4D version of a polyhedron. There are exactly six regular convex ones; this set has all six, shown as perspective projections into 3D where an outer cell surrounds the rest and no tubes cross.
The license is personal use: print them as often as you like for yourself and give printed pieces as gifts, but please don't sell prints or share the files. For commercial use, get in touch through the contact page.
