Then select the inner geometry for the rope and outset it an appropriate distance:
then delete any superfluous geometry:
and when added to the toolpath results in:

Since there are 3 paths for the inner circle, it’s simply a matter of removing the inner from the toolpath:

Thank you so much Will! So, the rope part, you added an offset to the inner “oval” pieces and once you had that you assigned a new tool path?
How exactly do you do that?
Yes, selected all of the inner oval rope pieces and offset them as shown.
I edited the toolpath, then added the new geometry to the selection.
This is a JPEG of the STL file I have, however, the .stl file is huge being just under 19 MB. IF you want this version we would have to figure out how to get it to you - and for me that would be on a disc.
I just grabbed this image off Google images:
I flood-filled the outside to be black so that the rope and UNITED STATES NAVY letters are just floating in the background. Then I inverted everything except the inner-most white circle with the eagle to get:
Then using PixelCNC I just loaded the image as a raster-layer, set my v-bit, created a medial-axis carve operation and that was that:
Dont know if it’s anything that may be of use but If you need to email big files I have found www.mailbigfile.com very good and it’s free. You can send files up to 4GB in size. I use it for sending vinyl proofs to customers.
Very reliable.
Thanks for the help! I was able to use the corrected file that Will did to make the cut. I appreciate everyone’s help,

Here’s another Navy logo — unfortunately, the available one isn’t suited for cutting since it is drawn/composed oddly:
Changing it to use outlines which do not overlap allows one to make a file which works properly:

Other thread is closed so I’ll post this file.
Select each element individually to V-Carve
Gives a simulation like this
You could also go the advanced v-carve course and get this. I left the chain as regular v-carve.
Fair winds and following cn-seas!

Hey, Will. Was the Nvy logo svg file
Took your file added the chain and rays. Replaced the stars. Cleaned up the eagle a little.
@DannyDog: I looked at the mail service you recommended. They may have changed their practices, as the free version is 2GB max. I’ve been using WeTransfer.com - free, and also 2Gig. Also very reliable, with verified addresses and as far as I can tell, no limit on downloads.
