Yay - unupdatetable package ( aur/python-pynest2d-git Arachne_engine_beta.r0.g1548790-1)
The source repository for that package hasn't changed since November. It's not updating because there's nothing to update to.

Pipeline to automate the process from creating 3d objects to start a print job
I am currently developing a pipeline for creating STL files, slice them and create a print job based on it. My setup at the moment is an Ultimaker S5, which offers a simple REST-API, for example starting a job with a G-Code or UFP file. I am using the cadQuery library for creating parametrized 3d shapes and export them as a STL file. I want to use the CuraEngine CLI interface (Backend for Cura) for slicing or their library libArcus (python bindings) but there is literally no documentation or any kind of examples, except the source code. There is also the prucaSlicer, which also offers a CLI interface for creating G-Code, but no support for the Ultimaker S5.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pynest2d and pyArcus you can also consider the following projects:
nest2D - Nest2D is a 2D bin packaging tool for python.
CuraEngine - Powerful, fast and robust engine for converting 3D models into g-code instructions for 3D printers. It is part of the larger open source project Cura.
pyVoIP - Pure python VoIP/SIP/RTP library. Currently supports PCMA, PCMU, and telephone-event
Cura - 3D printer / slicing GUI built on top of the Uranium framework
cadquery - A python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT
libArcus - Communication library between internal components for Ultimaker software
cura-cli - Additional command line tools for Cura and CuraEngine
PrusaSlicer - G-code generator for 3D printers (RepRap, Makerbot, Ultimaker etc.)
