Quality checks
- !Every cut path is closed, no zero-length segments. 2080 closed paths; 284 tiny segments under 0.05 mm (sub-visible zig-zags). Harmless, but a cleaner file cuts smoother.
- !Fits a common machine bed. At 444 × 444 mm it's bigger than the common beds listed; it needs a large-format machine.
- ✓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 · Pieces come out as designed (nothing falls loose) · The generator raised no warnings.
