More info will be forthcoming, once I have time to put it together for you. I’m tweaking some things on my design, after which I will make a proper video. Unfortunately I missed my opportunity with the yoyo, so I’m open to requests. Probably next week.

Looks great. Can’t wait to see what kind of fixture you’ve created.

Very nice results. Darkness is uniform around the dowel.

Be interesting to see how the rotary fixture was implemented. Typically, you’d disconnect the Y axis from the gantry and drive the rotary fixture as the Y axis instead… best of my knowledge there are no hooks like that in the GF and you can’t open the lid to manually index the fixture. So it’s a mystery now, I want explained!

Finally got a video link working! This shows the engraving of a 1.25" diameter dowel.

Ah. Your manually advancing it via the pass thru slot.
Well specifically using the gantry to drag/roll the object.

Very clever, and nicely done! How were you able to do the yoyo at 2.1"? Isn’t that more than the max. height (without the crumb tray in)?

Super clever. Did you attach it to the locking holes they used for shipping? Or is it just pushed somehow? Simply awesome.

A very clever design indeed. I wasn’t able to view your videos though but I do understand how you did the job from your pics.

I’m guessing that is doublesided blue tape?

At first I thought you were the guy who cut the bottom of his GF out and now I see what you did. That’s genius!

Outstanding. 
We have all been waiting for someone to devise a solution for almost 3 years!
I presume the tape is to prevent the dowel from sliding? I’m guessing the long incremented slot is sized for the maximum diameter?
Well Done.
