TL;DR
tesseract dimensions
When drawing a tesseract in 3D how large should the inner cube be compared to the outer one?

It's up to you, it's completely arbitrary. Different sizes will correspond to different points of view in 4D (with some simplifications).
 
I just wanted to 3D print a model. Wasn't sure if the lines leading between the cubes needed a different thickness to be more correct.
