What it does

Beam Boundary publishes verified laser material test records and safe starting settings for common materials such as plywood. Each record states the machine, lens, power, speed, and frequency, and marks what is confirmed, what failed, and what is still unknown. Includes a LightBurn material test guide, settings directory, result interpretation, and troubleshooting pages for incomplete cuts and burn marks. Built for hobbyists and makers who want repeatable results instead of forum guessing.

Machine-aware laser material test records and safe starting settings with exact sources, failures, unknowns and stop conditions.

A machine-aware record library for makers who need provenance, failed results and a safe next step—not a universal settings chart. Source reference row supplies a one-pass cutting parameter; success criteria and kerf are not reported. Transfer limit: Only a traceable starting test for xTool D1 10 W and the source-claimed 3 mm basswood board. Not transferable to plywood, D1 Pro, other wattages, or other software percentages. Source reference row supplies a one-pass cutting parameter; edge quality is not reported. Transfer limit: Only for the exact source-named xTool product on xTool D1 10 W. A generic 3 mm plywood label is insufficient identity. Source reference row supplies a two-pass…from laser-material-test-records.pages.dev

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
