I've designed a device that can be used to emboss rigid foam insulation sheet for the purpose of creating tombstone Halloween decorations.

 

The main concept being that if I printed the embossing features around a cylinder I could cover more area given my printer volume than I could printing flat plates.

 

I also wanted to be able to change the tombstone test without re-printing the entire device, so I made replaceable "face plates"

I'm not convinced this is all that practical of a device, but I'm happy with the finished product none the less.
