Add the possibility to update a file after ticket creation

We had this case in practice.

This should be a new view for each ticket file.
Maybe something like /tickets/1/files/filename.stl/update

The new view should be referenced by a button in the file list of the ticket view.

Advanced options

Let the user (optionally) select advanced options at ticket creation as suggested in new_ticket_file_form.html#L99.

Such as

• infill
• layer height (quality)
• shell count
• orientation
• support

Maybe also consider ranges for this (e. g. infill between 5-15%, "medium" quality).

Pricing options

At the moment, it is not clear to a user who simply wants to create a ticket what price he/she will have to pay for it. I propose the following solutions:

• Automatic price calculation to give the user a rough price estimate (complex to implement, uses a lot of computing resources, might be very inaccurate because infill might be adjusted manually later)
• A "notify me when it costs above X euro" option, might be quiet effective and simple to implement

New material Interface

Add a new interface which allows staff users to add new MaterialStocks.
The interface should query at least the following attributes:

• Manufacturer
• Material Type (includes color and any material properties)
• Price
• Material weight (including or excluding package)
  A new label for the material should be generated and displayed to the user.

Add a "MyPlastic" site, which allows staff members to keep track of used materials

The MyPlastic site might also include implementation for #2 #4, but the main purpose is handling material usage: A staff member might need material X to print an object for a ticket and it would be helpful if the member could simply enter the material number on the site and how much material was used. This helps to keep track of the costs, which can than be paid later to the material owner (when they reach a certain threshold).

Make the ticket assignable to a staff member

The ticket should be associated with a state:

• Closed
• Assigned
• Unassigned

Furthermore, a site must be implemented where the staff members can view and edit tickets.

Add a simple interface to allow a staff member to change the current material weight

The interface only includes an entry for a material label and another entry for the new material weight. So, it should be straightforward to implement.
