[TriEmbed] Looking for recommendation

[Pete Soper]

This might be an option for those wanting to use Fushion360 on Linux 
(Virtualbox how-to specific to running this program inside Windows 10). 
At the bottom is mention of FreeCAD, OnShape, and SolidWorks with links 
to more info.

    Well, playing with my 3D printer has made its way to the top of
      my TODO list. 
    
    I've used SketchUp to build 3D models for printing but they've
      gone the way of subscription software since I last used it. This
      is the second time I've been burned by using a proprietary tool
      and having them go this route. Grrr. 
    
     Any recommendations for useful, open-source 3D modelling
      software? I'm looking for:
    
      Linux
      Open source
      Something that won't go subscription model 
      
      Programmatic interface would be nice. SketchUp had a Ruby
        interface.
      
    
    Right now, I'm looking to print a few knobs for some old
      equipment but I'd like to find something I can use to build more
      complicated things (like designing decks for the house, designing
      sheds, etc). 
    
    I've seen recommendations for freeCAD and even Blender. And, of
      course, there's OpenSCAD that Paul presented during one of our
      meetings. Fusion360 is popular but seems to be Windows only and is
      proprietary. 
    
    Thanks.
