[Andrew Plumb]

Fortunately, the ArtEngine Epilog does have a rotary attachment.  Don't know if anyone has used it yet though.

> The problem is laser engravers usually only have an x,y control, so any cutting or engraving has to be in a plane, since the bean is carefully focused down… some have a rotary attachment, so cylinders would work for those. This means you would either have to get a very fancy laser cutter, or flatten the skull or antlers.
