Support download of other formats than .stl #2

As the title says, it would be useful if the extension allowed you to also download .scad, .f3d, .3mf and other common formats that people might have uploaded.

Hello, and thank you for the suggestion.

The original intention was to include all files, but I found that non-STL files did not resolve in the same way that STL files did. In the snippet below, you can actually see where all files are included, but are filtered-out to prevent sending the user to a 404 error:

If I get some time, I'd like to do a little more digging, and enable the downloading of these files, so I'll keep the issue open, and try to figure out something this weekend.

Thanks!
