Thanks for the explanation.
I’m curious how this is supposed to work because I don’t see an obvious mechanism for this.
Ditto…
The galvo seems to be able to do this …
I have a solution to this problem which I’m sure will work. Going to test this tomorrow and will report back ASAP. Basically doing what has been done before but adding one simple instruction to the process should give you more than 100 identical complete passes. Will test tomorrow.

Yes I’m pleased to say that my idea works a treat, Ok this is the solution I have used and the results are better than I had expected.
First put your design on the Lightburn work space as you would normally. I select all and tell Lightburn to move job to centre of page. This helps correct any errors should you accidently move the job later. Now set up your machine as per normal adjusting speed power etc. When you are ready to make your first pass use the multi layer function to get 11 copies of the complete job. You may well of already done this. Now for the new bit to get upto over 100 complete passes. Select all and duplicate to a different colour layer. Open new layer and check all settingss are correct. Now make a further 11 copies of this layer. Continue the last process selecting a new colour for each layer. I have just used my Atomstack a5 on 25% power and made 30 complete passes over 3mm ply at 1000mm/m and got a perfect cut with no Charing or smoke stains. Never had such a good finish to a cut. Any further questions just ask.
This is very interesting! I did a Preview test on a large 48-piece puzzle pattern,
700mm/m, 70%, 4 passes = 41.5 minutes.
4000mm/m, 20%, 30 passes = 56.6 minutes. (power does not affect time)
If I can get it to cut thru in 20 passes at 30% power, it would take about 37 minutes. My only wonder is how fast the machine would wear out.
