@Orax,

You can create a package for release candidate (rc) versions if you would like 
to. Suggested names e.g.:

prusa-slicer-rc-bin
-or-
prusa-slicer-preview-bin

In package description, you can add "(preview version)" or "(release 
candidate)".

It could provide either the latest stable or the latest preview / release 
candidate, whichever is newer.

That package would not be considered a duplicate variant of the repo package. 
It is valid and allowed on AUR to have devel/alpha/beta/preview/rc whatever 
packages.
