debian: add optional 3D printing tools install#37
Merged
Conversation
Adds an install-3d-printing-packages script that installs PrusaSlicer, FreeCAD, and OpenSCAD via Flatpak from Flathub. Using Flatpak ensures the latest upstream versions are installed and kept up to date, independent of Debian's package freeze cycle. The bootstrap prompts the user before installing, consistent with the optional install pattern used for makemkv and desktop packages.

Adds install-3d-printing-packages script that installs PrusaSlicer, FreeCAD, and OpenSCAD via Flatpak from Flathub. Using Flatpak ensures the latest upstream versions are installed and kept up to date, independent of Debian's package freeze cycle. Flatpak and the Flathub remote are set up in install-desktop-packages alongside Flatseal (a Flatpak permissions manager). The 3D printing script relies on this foundation being in place. The bootstrap prompts the user before installing, consistent with the optional install pattern used for makemkv and desktop packages.
