Kerf adjustment is a bear sometimes.
This is my pair (standing male buck & grazing doe). I copied @m_raynsford’s technigue of putting arrows where the tiny (0.012") tabs (cut skips) are to make it easier to punch out the parts. The numbers show which pieces go together. It’s sized for PG Med Cherry Ply. The blue is a cut, as is the black square outline. Red is a score (fast) and Green is engrave (I use the Graphic setting). All settings are PG auto settings.
You shouldn’t need any glue. They are a tight fit. No slop.
If you notice the file name includes a percent factor - in this case 99pct. That’s because the original was for Maple which in my stock is a hair thicker than my Cherry. So I simply selected all of it, locked the dimensions and set the size to 99% so it reduced it just enough to tighten up all of the slots. It’s a quick way of switching between materials.
The kerf on my machine is 0.007"
Here’s the file:
Don’t worry about the black box - that’s because there’s an outline bounding box (the cut out for the flat-pack card). Discourse treats it as a solid. The SVG should download fine.
I would change the color on one of the hip sections and a leg and just cut those to see if any adjustment is needed. If so, go back and adjust the whole thing by the appropriate percentage scaling factor. It really doesn’t matter that the legs and deer bodies will come out a hair larger or smaller - you just want the slots to be tight.
BTW, I did add a nose (engrave), eye and smile but I haven’t cut that version so if the deer are malevolent looking maybe delete those parts and go back to the faceless version
(I made an evil looking turkey that my wife really doesn’t like - 10" tall too. How was I to know turkeys don’t have teeth?)
EDIT: I added a version saved in Corel with a different styling sheet. I have not actually run this one through the GF though so no warranties that it will load or cut properly But it does show what the thing looks like. I traditionally don’t worry about the style sheet used on the file save as it’s only an issue with Discourse but Chris prevailed
