Can laser mode be configured to cut the interior cutout shapes and holes first, then the part outline? As it is now, the outline is cut first and if the part is small compared to the bed support spacing, the part falls between the supports before the holes are finished.

I’ll review the code and see what I can do. There isn’t a config for it at the moment.
