Description
**Describe the idea / solution you'd like**
STL/3mf viewer for 3D model files and projects.
**Additional context**
I use copyparty to share (and archive) models that I found and it would be nice for someone (or me) to be able to preview models without installing OrcaSlicer or using external sites. Not sure if it possible, but maybe a simple editor too? (just a viewer is completely fine)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Look for existing media indexer or thumbnail generation code in copyparty to understand how file previews are handled. Research JavaScript libraries for STL/3MF viewing (like Three.js) and consider integration into the web interface. Determine how to add a new viewer endpoint and configure MIME type handling for 3D model files.
