[klmvgkxn] Intersecting cylinders

The set intersection of three cylinders at right angles is a bulbous rhombic dodecahedron.  The axes of the cylinders coincide with lines joining the vertices of an octahedron to the center.

Investigate cylinders intersecting along axes of other polyhedra.

How does it roll?  Joins the sphericon, two cones joined twisted, gomboc, and Kelvin cell (with curved faces) of things I want to 3D print.
