3D file support

[henrikkoch]

This is just a feature request
I would vote for support for .STL, .STP and .3MW support as attachments
In som projects in PartDB I have 3D parts as well and want to document these together with electronic parts

As a starting point it could be nice to be able to select these 3 file types.

Next step could be a viewer (Manyfold can show STL files)

I also add 3D printer filement as this is very much a special type for the parts in my projects.

Could be nice that partdb also supports this

You can already create a custom attachment type. You can see it in the demo instance:

This issue seems to be a duplicate of #971

I implemented an 3D model viewer for Part-DB, with the latest commit:

You can just click onto an 3d model attachment, and it will open the viewer in a new tab.
Any common 3d model format should be supported, plus there is support for step and iges files.

Fantastic news !! Thanks !!!!! Look forward to try this and use the feature when released

Looks great so far. Tested it with stp and stl files. As I had my custom made file type Model (3D), should I update it or is this definition sufficient/correct?
