you need to upload the file.

Dis you import STL's or does next wave provide the file?

More information is required.

SawDust913, it looks fine to me. What do you think is wrong with it?

Thanks for the response. I did find a photo from NextWave files and this is just what is showing. I don't care for the way the shark is Cut Into the piece instead of of merging into the base. I will just have to work on making my own pieces.

For reference here's the model and not the toolpath preview. Seems like a reasonable way to keep both shapes distinct (the shark and the "traditional" King shape).
