Quality checks
- !Every cut path is closed, no zero-length segments. 246 closed paths; 64 tiny segments under 0.05 mm (sub-visible zig-zags). Harmless, but a cleaner file cuts smoother.
- !Pieces come out as designed (nothing falls loose). 4 layers, every piece attached; 3 tiny loose island(s) in Layer 4 were left out so nothing falls free (the preview already shows this).
- ✓Passed: No duplicate or stacked cut lines · No cut lines cross or touch · Curves aren't over-segmented · Thinnest strip of material ≥ the material's minimum · Narrowest opening ≥ what the machine cuts cleanly · The generator raised no warnings · Fits a common machine bed.
