I said this to @karaelena earlier, but ill say it again. The age of the maker is here. Almost anything I can buy as a trinket online somewhere I can now make myself. Its such a good feeling to be able to fully manifest an idea, and this is such a great example
That’s great! One question: It looks like you cut out half of the Proofgrade bar code. Does that mean you won’t be able to treat the rest of that board as Proofgrade? Will you have to manually enter settings if you use the rest of it?
I’ve been thinking about the other side of this coin as I go around and see an enormous (and ever increasing) amount of stuff that is made on a laser. It’s still an unclear thought (mine, not yours) but the whole thing relates to commodification & democratization. In any event, that got my wheels spinning again![quote=“johnwills, post:16, topic:4555”]

For one that was not proofgrade. The 1/4" birch plywood is from home depot. Secondly as it sits if the UI sees the QR code it applies the right settings automagically. Otherwise you can pick it from the material list.
The visible QR code is an interim step until we perfect the process to apply UV barcodes across the entire surface of the material. At that point you’ll be able to cut a board in half and use both halves. Lots of changes and improvements in store for Proofgrade.
