Making a stacked-text sign using the new layer feature in Carbide Create (version 521+)

The folks at Carbide3D announced a new beta feature in Carbide Create: Layers. [PXL_20210515_155150934] This tutorial gives this new feature a spin using the beta version, to make a stacked-text sign. I’ll try to make this an entry-level tutorial (screenshots for every small step) for those who are relatively new to CNC and want to make their own stack text signs. For the example I’ll stack “your” on top of “text here”… since that’s boring in general you should replace that with the text you…
