V carve inlay issue

inlay attempt.c2d (116 KB)

Hello, I followed the tutorial on how to create a vcarve inlay from the carbide YouTube channel. I made both pieces, but it seems that there is major gaps between the two pieces.

I am newer to CNC so maybe I am doing something wrong. It is on a shapeoko 3xxl, with the newest version of carbide create (v7).

The only areas I could see potential issues with was that I did an advanced v carve in 2 steps (since I don’t have a bit setter) but the pocket operation and vcarve seemed to work as intended in the software simulator. The other variable was that I made the vcarve have a flat bottom due to the stock thickness, but I don’t imagine this would cause an issue. I also used an amana 60 degree vbit but just chose the carbide 60 degree in the software, maybe that makes a difference?

Any ideas?
