In order to laser engrave on a round surface you need a set of rollers or a rotary attachment. This is the rotary version, which is more versatile, due to the chuck interface to hold parts. The jaws can be turned 180º to take larger parts and with the help of the tailstock you can take longer parts too (like a bottle).
This rotary is very easy to connect, it's just a matter of removing the Y-axis cable from the motor and connect it to the rotary. Then it's all controlled by the software.
Having said that, taking the runout of a part, to ensure consistent engraving all around, can be time consuming as the rotary is not really suited for precision jobs (in terms of holding parts). It's also a bit tricky to engrave small parts because the laser needs to be focused (head pushed down) and that restricts the total movement possible in the x-axis before we hit the rotary. Speaking of crashing, you do need a set of risers to use the rotary as the laser frame needs to go at least one level up. In case you have a 3D printer, you can print these risers with 40, 60 and 80mm.
