Problems with V carve

I need help I have a Shapoko 5.1 and I am using carbide create pro. I am having issues with V carving. The simulation looks good, but the carve is not turning out. The W is all wrong also the inlay did not fit correctly. Any good ideas would be appreciated

Please post your file. It is hard to diagnose issues without the file.

Why is inlay plug mode selected for both the male and female sides?
The inlay plug is on the male side. For the female side, it’s just a regular V-carve.

I have no answer, I didn’t realize it was checked on the female side.

Did you run a test file in MDF or scrap wood first? I usually do based on the complexity of the carve or if I have not performed inlays in awhile.
