We study the boundary of the 3-dimensional Rauzy fractal \mathcal E ⊂ \RR × \CC generated by the polynomial P(x) = x4-x3-x2-x-1. The finite automaton characterizing the boundary of \mathcal E is given explicitly. As a consequence we prove that the set \mathcal E has 18 neighborhoods where 6 of them intersect the central tile \mathcal E in a point. Our construction shows that the boundary is generated by an iterated function system starting with 2 compact sets.
