Hi all,

I wanted to share a new physical model of the {6,3,3} H=B3 honeycomb. This
is the very special object Andrey's
MT633puzzles are based
on. Its cells are infinite hexagonal tilings inscribed
in horospheres (whereas we're
used to having cells inscribed in finite spheres).

It is awesome to hold the model in your hand! You can see pictures and
order one for yourself here: http://www.shapeways.com/shops/roice3

I've been working on this model and other H=B3 honeycombs with Henry
Segerman.
The {5,3,4} is already available as well, and more are coming soon! I am
hoping we'll eventually have models of all 15 regular H=B3 honeycombs (even
including the really exotic ones like the {4,4,4}, which I will share more
about later).

Cheers,
Roice
