I can take over maintaining this package if you'd like.

I am no longer a co-maintainer for this package. If you'd like to update it yourself, just edit the PKGBUILD with the new version number and swap in the sha512sum of the latest STABLE .deb package from the Github repo (https://github.com/nkallen/plasticity/releases)

v1.3 is out now. See this video for all the new features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI4xLxn0Wf8

@Enge1982 you're right, it seems like the dev took down 1.2.6 and replaced it with 1.2.16. I've updated the PKGBUILD with your fix

Looks like "v1.2.6" can't be downloaded by yay. Possible typo of "v1.2.16"?

Editing the PKGBUILD and setting VER to 1.2.16 with the new sum allows it to succeed:

I have taken ownership of this package and it has been updated to v1.2.0 which was released a few days ago. If anyone would like to be added as a co-maintainer let me know, I would like for this to be kept up to date.

1.2.4 is out so I'm writing this updated version of the @luci4 comment for the yay package manager:

• Enter yay plasticity-bin --editmenu --editor nano and install
• For every question hit Enter until "PKGBUILDs to edit?" where you enter 1
• Change "pkgver=" to 1.2.4
• Change "sha512sums=" to 3966b50cf7f702ecab9be2b9f900da42bc48b602140515bec0336d455f02dba36c31af856e7447490595ca2bd10712c783eb08a633e51cdcd5db83c13a083fde
• Look at "source=" and DELETE any instance of -beta
• Press Ctrl+X then Y then Enter to save

Enjoy

also @lambdawarrior make sure you manually enter the corresponding file extension in the name bar (such as fileName.obj or fileName.stl) before you click Save

I was able to install 1.1.0 by editing PKGBUILD and sofware starts and seems to work nicely. However when I try to export a model I created to .stl or any other format nothing really happens after clicking "save". I tried saving the same model on an official MacOS build of Plasticity and it worked flawlessly.

Any clue? Thanks!

Add this option with the yay package update command --editmenu --editor nano.

Select only the plasticity-bin package for update by using " ^ [plasticity-bin number in the package list] ".

When asked for "PKGBUILDs to edit?" type 'A' and 'Enter'.

In the NANO Editor change the following Variable :

pkgver="x.x.x"
↓ to ↓
pkgver="1.1.0"

and
