I probably wasn’t clear here: the problem I haven’t seen is “if you cut the outside first and the inside second, you get worse results than the reverse”. That observation is just my personal observation on the (many) prints I’ve done. And it was in the context of “the outside/inside optimization is rarely helpful, so doing it automatically isn’t a priority for us, especially since you can do it manually”.
If you’re cutting paper, there is definitely a risk of airborne paper bits. UI control of air assist is already in the hopper.
