The following 3D linkage effectively turns the edge skeleton of a truncated tetrahedron "inside out". Turning a polyhedron inside out is similar to reflecting it through a plane, except that the inside/outside orientation of the faces is also inverted.

The animated GIF is 10 megabytes, so it may take a while to load in full; then it should animate fairly quickly. The animation was raytraced with POV-ray by Erik Demaine.
