Currently, the visual alignment on your machine is probably not good enough to do a perfect Print and Cut file like that one. (It is being improved upon as we type.)

There is a method to do it, and we have writeups on it which I’ll link below, but the first thing you are going to have to do in either case is create cut lines around the drawing using a drawing program like Illustrator or Inkscape. Each of those has an Auto-Trace function that can be used to create a vector cut line around the doll and the rectangle.

Once you have created the file with the cutlines and the doll image, you would print it out on your sheet magnet, bring it into the Glowforge, and use one of the methods in the tutorials listed below to get the cutlines aligned around the drawing on the screen.

Alternatively you can try this method:

Hope that helps. :grinning:
