My first thought would have been to make them Heart shaped, I know, they are coins. lol

What are the meanings of the letters please…
Can you provide English to each of the different characters…
Enquiring minds wood like to know…

Oh very nice coins, well done…

What does "Clean do? And what is a ā€œsuper trickā€ cut?

Was my first try, so coins had to be coins :smiley:

These are Chinese ladies’ names translated from Portuguese.
Thanks

Clean (engraving with less power) is used to clean the burn of the engraving
Super trick .

Yes, I read that earlier. Thanks!

I donĀ“t know why I didnĀ“t post the file…sorry.

Hi Parsec

I ran that file and your method for cutting worked perfectly, even on that most difficult 4mm ply.

Where your examples in the photo show the heart shape and lettering engraved into the material, my machine did the oposite…strange!

Also the cutting gave off much less smoke and the wood had very little residue to be cleaned off.

Thanks.

It“s the other way around, the shapes are positive you output is correct.
If you want to do the opposite you just need to add a little (0.01) offset (to the black Layer shape in this case).
Fill shapes work as a toggle off-on-off-on and so on.
