testing embedded links


I'm trying various ways to embed a 3d file in the forum.
Above here I am linking to a "Free" autodesk viewer. I think it has downsides including requiring an account but what does it do for people justing looking at it here?

I get asked if I want Canadian or US pages. After picking Canada, I get taken to what looks like a home page. I don't see a viewer or an object.

As Autodesk is an American company, I'd prefer almost anything but.
That being said, can't suggest an appropriate alternative but I'm sure they're out there.

Embedded & link take me directly to the Printables page, and opens the 3D Viewer.
 
The embedded link is:

https: // autode . sk/4ijNYxD

I inserted spaces to stop the forum from parsing the link. Bottom line is that this is a living link that gets parsed by Autodesk. It can't be counted on to take anyone anyplace because it can be changed at Autodesk's will.
