Can one modify the default Graph3D[] display to use 3D tubes for the edges? E.g., how could one modify this simple display

Graph3D[{1 <-> 2, 2 <-> 3, 3 <-> 1}]

to use (possibly thick) tubes or cylinders for the edges? I would think EdgeStyle->{?} might accomplish this, but I can't see how to do it. It appears the vertices are true 3D spheres, so this should somehow be possible...

Ultimately I would like a "solid" representation of a 3D graph.

    $\begingroup$ Something like: Graph3D[{1 <-> 2, 2 <-> 3, 3 <-> 1}, EdgeShapeFunction -> (Tube[#, .02] &)]? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It does use tubes by default, they are just thin. $\endgroup$

Thanks to @CarlWoll:
          Tubes

Graph3D[{1 <-> 2, 2 <-> 3, 3 <-> 1}, 
 EdgeShapeFunction -> (Tube[#, .065] &),
 VertexSize -> Medium]
