Re: WTF ? ERROR: The given mesh is not closed! Unable to convert to CGAL_Nef_Polyhedron.

I was answering a question about how to make dice.  If you want a
truncated icosahedron or a thing like the cat house:

include<BOSL2/std.scad>
include<BOSL2/polyhedra.scad>

regular_polyhedron("truncated icosahedron", r=1);
right(3) spheroid(style="icosa", $fn=15);

But if you're talking about 3d printing it's presumably better to
print the faces and somehow snap them together, which is a rather
different modeling task.

Sure, if you are making gaming dice.

HOWEVER, this is my first step toward calculating/generating geodesic spheres.
This Geodesic Dome Cat House got me thinking about a geodesic helmet !
This is a 3v dome.
Then I saw this Low Cost Astronaut Helmet from Instructables which is a truncated icosahedron like a soccer ball.
I am shooting for a 3v helmet, and then maybe a 4v version.
Keep your eyes on Thingiverse !

A plus to the small spheres is that you can get nice rounded edges if you make them not quite so small.
