So I wonder one thing - I've trying to learn to use FreeCAD on Linux - simply because. And thus it begs the question if some of those 3D printers require windows and/or commercial software in order to be used in practice ?
I couldn't read that from the article nor its links.

The model can probably be produced in any 3D CAD application.
The key software is the slicer. This prepares it for the printer.

Ultimaker Cura is Linux friendly, and free.

The majority of slicers have Linux support. Prusa slicer, Bambu studio and Orca slicer have Linux support (for some you must get it from the releases page on Linux)

As for FreeCAD the saying is its free because you pay with your time remains true even with the latest updates. It remains in a constant state of the next update being hailed as the true fix to what is a deeper problem of direction that results in a lot of other problems that only get nibbled away at slowly as more are added.
