Here's something I did today, if you see anything that should be done different please let me know. I don't mind making mistakes I just don't want to keep making the same ones.

Re: Cactus Wren
Nice! I just simulated it and the only glitch I saw was the next to the top hole in the tree bark is not a closed loop and an extra line on the birds neck.
Thanks for sharing that.

Re: Cactus Wren
when I opened in Bobcad I found a few area that were open I highlighted them in red.
then a few others in corners that were opened that I highlighted in blue.
for me & my machine I find that when possible I change corners from a sharp corner to a radius-ed corner (in this case I went .05 in the blue highlighted areas) this for my machine does 2 things.
1) helps ensure the segments are attached to each other
2) turns a drawling that had an abrupt direction change to a drawling with a continuous motion which helps both with time saving & cut quality (on my machine at least)
all & all a very nice drawling, keep at it your on the right path
