How to seek assistance with AUR files that fail to build?

I occasionally try to install AUR projects and fail with error messages. Such as:

“==> Validating source files with sha256sums…
octoprint-1.7.3.tar.gz … FAILED”

and …

“curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading http://www.ishare3d.com/3dapp/public/FlashPrint-5/FlashPrint/flashprint5_5.2.1_amd64.deb
Aborting…
Failed to build flashprint”

QUESTION: How to reach out to maintainers for specific files that show such errors?

First of all, see the Arch Wiki: Foo in the AUR does not compile when I run makepkg; what should I do?

The issue with octoprint has already been reported, see the comments.

flashprint is marked out of date. It appears the previous version is no longer available from the upstream server.
