Text on Text Problems

I posted that I was having trouble with Text on Text a couple of weeks ago and was given this link:

Could use some guidance on creating a carve

To do this using the Advanced V carve features it’s much the same, just a bit simpler: Set the texts and duplicate them and set the duplicates aside in case a reference is needed: [image] draw up the V carving geometry in profile to see how things will cut: [image] and offset the top geometry by that distance: [image] [image] Boolean union w/ the outside geometry for the lower layer: [image] [image] Where geometry has been lost, bring back the geometry which was used by repeatin…

I went through the second updated 2020 tutorial very carefully and downloaded the file that was attached. I used the same feeds and speeds and thought I did everything exactly the same, but mine does not look nearly as crisp. 1/4" seems really deep, too.
Also the parts about inside offsets and boolean subtract for missing geometry lost me completely.
