Quality issue of simulation

Cottage Country 1.c2d (1.9 MB)
Cottage country 22.c2d (1.8 MB)
These are 2 identical files. Cottage Country 1 was my first project last week. it turned out perfect.
Cottage Country 22 is my second attempt and the Simulation is blurry, it looks like the lettering will be v grooved instead of pocket.

I just noticed that the advance V toolpath on Cottage country 22 time is a lot shorter than Cottage country 1 for some reason even though the speeds are all the same. I would assume that would affect quality.


I also noticed that for some reason Cottage Country 22 the lettering is being instructed to be V carved instead of pocket. I’m obviously missing something here. I must have accidently changed some setting.

You are using v7, please update to v8.

For: Cottage Country 1.c2d you have:

while for: Cottage country 22.c2d you have:

One uses #102, while the other uses #102 DEFAULT for Pocket Clearing, different V tools are used, #30 Vee 30 degrees vs. 30 Degree V groove — do these differ in how they are defined? And the depths are different (0.109 vs. 0.108).

Upon reviewing the simulation, the V-bits appear to differ, potentially explaining the variation observed in the preview.

Consider adjusting the V-bit to match, this should help to resolve the issue in the simulation.

That was it. Its looks great now. Thank you so much.

Just an FYI, CC 816 Beta takes model resolution to a whole new level…
