P. McMullen has pointed out to the author that he has constructed an interesting equifacetted 3-sphere in his Ph.D.Thesis by starting with the 600-cell.

The 600-cell is a 4-dimensional convex regular polytope with 600 facets. Its Schläfli symbol of the 600-cell is {3, 3, 5}. It is a 4-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron, constructed by the golden ratio on the edges of an octohedron.
