    I guess it could just be written up as cost of operation, but yeah would be curious to see if components can be made that withstand this much abuse without degradation for long periods.

      I mean, as-is with much lower power lasers, it’s written up as a cost of operation. What used to be parts that were installed once and then never touched are now regular maintenance tasks.

      I don’t think the mirrors and prisms will be the expensive part in the grand scheme of things, but the downtime to shift spots and replace components will be expensive.
