Summary

Allow attaching images and documents to filament records.

Upstream Issues

Problem

The color hex field alone does not capture:

  • Visual appearance of specialty filaments (translucent, glitter, marble, silk)
  • Safety Data Sheets (SDS) from manufacturers
  • Technical Data Sheets with print settings
  • Sample print photos

Proposed Solution

Database

  • Add FilamentAttachment table (supports images and documents)
  • Fields: filament_id, filename, file_type, url/path, description

Backend

  • File upload endpoint (store in data directory)
  • Serve files via static route
  • Thumbnail generation for images
  • Support PDF, images, text files

Frontend

  • File upload in filament create/edit form
  • Show image thumbnails in filament list
  • Document list with download links
  • Full image gallery in detail page

File Types

  • Images: jpg, png, gif, webp
  • Documents: pdf, txt (SDS, TDS)
  • Max file size limit (configurable)

Considerations

  • Storage: local filesystem vs external URL
  • Security: validate file types, scan uploads
  • Could extend to Spool records too
