Catalogue of Polytets

A polytet, or polytetrahedron, is a solid made by joining platonic tetrahedra face to face. Here I show all the polytets of order up through 5.

Two-sided polytets may be reflected as well as rotated. One-sided polytets may be rotated but not reflected.

This page at StackExchange reproduces the problem and presents a general polytet enumeration program by a member with code name wastl.
