I just repeatly made the same project a present for my granddaughter and I have received odd results with missing letters or spacing errors. I thought I finely got it right and again issues.
Can someone suggest what I am doing wrong?

Can you post the file?
It looks like either lost/gained steps — did the dust shoe or something get hung up?

Here are the files that I used thanks for the help
The previews for the .c2d file:
and the G-Code:
are fine, so this is a mechanical issue, either the machine got hung up, or there was a problem w/ the pulley set screws, belt tension, or eccentric nut adjustment of the V wheels:
- Pulley set screws: http://docs.carbide3d.com/shapeoko-faq/shapeoko-3-how-to-check-the-pulley-set-screws/ — be sure to check all axes/pulleys including Z.
- V wheels / eccentric nuts: http://docs.carbide3d.com/support/tensioning-eccentrics
- Belt tension (see the relevant step in your instruction manual, e.g., Step 5 Belting - Carbide 3D) Note that the X-axis motor is held in place on standoffs and if those bolts are loose this can cause belt tension issues. Also, belt tension for the Y-axis stepper motors needs to be even/equivalent on each side — a significant difference can cause skipping on one side eventually resulting in lost steps on both.
I will check the item you recommended thanks
