I took the image and pasted it intto LightBurn. The left object (gray) is the paste, the middle object (black) is the trace in LightBurn and the right object (red) was created in Inkscape utilizing its centerline trace function, saved as an SVG and brought into LightBurn.
Note in the red object also has been further process into other colors.
Let’s dissect what this all reveals:
First, LightBurn, as of yet, does not have centerline capabilities.
I’ll try to describe the issues revealed in Inkscape’s output from this type of image you’re wanting. Observe in the other colors, of my choosing, you’ll see the blue line for example isn’t a closed object. My thoughts are it has no idea which direction/angle to turn when linking the next wye to the current line. It also doesn’t know when to stop. Hence, there just a twisting turning random compilation of vectors and it stops whereever it sees fit to do so.
Important to note is that LightBurn’s offset capabilities won’t get you what you want without a tremendous amount of welding. See the ziz-zag.
Now, what I did do is create a rough pentagon in one location and used the offset function both inward and outward at 1/32" setting to arrive at your desired 1/16" line. So even if you manually went through and recreated the ins and outs, you’d need to set the offset function to automatcally deleted the line between them or set the newly created lines to a new layer and hide the original layer at a later time (in case you needed it for future reference).
Play around with the blue, green and magenta layers, changing them to fill or line to see what I’ve done.
Now having said all of that, my thougthts are you may be better served to reach out to the author/creator of the paragami puzzle and get them to create individual shapes that could be fitted together WITH the offset that you desire.
Why? Because even if they could produce a vector output of single line entities, you’re still going to have the dillema of random, twisting, turning lines.

BTW, do you mind if I ask from whom you got your pattern?
