Would be nice if Luban could include the ability to laser engrave on curved surfaces, much like the new X-tool P2 is able to do. I would think its just a coding issue since the Artisan has the ability to raise and lower the laser. ---

Yes this really needed. Any ideas when it will come? ---

Don’t hold your breath. Seems like extremely fringe use case. There are more pressing things Luban needs IMO ---

Why do think it is a fringe use case? Up to now I can only engrave cylindrical glasses or planar surfaces. For sure this is a lot but with this feature a lot of other things a possible. It would be nearly a USP if Luban can do this.
