Feature Request: Enable Stored Work Origin Reuse for 40W Laser Module (like 10W Module)

Description:
When using the 10W laser module, Snapmaker automatically stores the Work Origin position after setting it, allowing users to quickly reuse the exact same origin for batch jobs or repeat tasks — without needing to manually re-position the laser each time.

However, with the 40W laser module, this functionality is missing. The origin must be reset manually for each job, even if the workpiece remains unchanged. This makes batch processing less efficient and introduces the risk of misalignment.

Requested Feature:

  • Enable the 40W laser module to store and recall the last set Work Origin, just like the 10W module does.
  • Allow users to reuse the stored origin via the touchscreen interface or Luban for subsequent jobs, unless manually redefined.

Benefits:

  • Greatly improves workflow for batch jobs or repeated engravings/cuts.
  • Ensures consistent alignment across jobs.
  • Saves time and reduces user error in multi-piece production.

This would bring the 40W laser experience in line with the functionality already available in the 10W module, which is a big help for anyone doing small series or production-style work.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!

This should also be implemented for the 1600mW laser module! If looking closely to the screen, you can see that it shows the Work Origin for a fraction of a second, but then resets it to the Machine Origin. So the coordinates are remembered, but should not be reset!

Yeah, this is really annoying.

This would be in fact a GREAT feature!!! I am always very angry, that the new repositioning takes time and time and time…
