@dc42 - I’ve implemented my raster clustering idea in Smoothieware and can now easily raster 0.1mm pixels at 200mm/sec without hiccups (previous limit was 80mm/sec). I’m going to do some more tests, and make some small changes to the implementation still, but it was simple to add.

@dc42 For vector marking, 10% sounds like a reasonable starting point.

It might be worth having a parameter to specify whether to use constant or variable power (GRBL does this), and the higher end DSP controllers let me specify a low and high power value to ramp between, which is handy for CO2 systems where the ionization point gets higher as the tube power goes up.

I chatted with Tony yesterday at MMRF about some ideas I have for dealing with raster data, and he suggested going straight to the source. If you're open to it, I'd love to talk to you about raster data - I have an implementation idea that I believe to be "minimally invasive" for the firmware, but would allow for much less compute overhead. I have a Duet 2 Wifi waiting for me at home and I'd like to look at supporting it in LightBurn soon.
