    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.

      Makes sense yeah, presumably this stuff has to be incredibly finely tuned to work right.
