600-Cell Central Rings.stl

This is a three-dimensional shadow of selected cells of the four-dimensional shape called the “600-cell.”

The 600-cell is one of six regular convex four-dimensional shapes. It is composed of 600 tetrahedral cells.

The full 600-cell is so ridiculously complex that it nearly impossible to see or understand in its entirety, so it is helpful to view it in parts.

If you look closely at this selection of cells, you can see how it is composed of nine interlocking rings connected by “struts.”  In the full 600-cell, these small “struts” are in fact part of complete rings. This gives some idea of how large and complex the full shape would be.

This model is designed for resin printing.
