Need help in cutting

hi there, I am new into this. 

I am looking to cut 4mm acrylic using Genmitsu CNC 3018-PRO Router Kit GRBL Control. 

I did make one SVG and was able to create .nc file  but it is not running properly and only doing 2 passes. How can we fix this? I am posting .nc file and setup screens. Any help  would be great.

Could you share your Fusion file here?

Just so you're aware; the Engrave toolpath will not produce a result that is close to what you've modeled, it's really only intended for features where the two opposing contours are less than the total width of the tool, such as text or inlay features

Please see attached. I did try to make some more changes. Not sure if this is good now.

See it this suits your needs.  Please check all tools and toolpath settings since I do not know your machine.  Model is attached.

Hi John, thank you very much for the help. Sorry I am not looking to make a pocket. I want to cut a heart shape using 4mm acrylic. see attached updated file. It is running only one pass.

If you're "just" looking to cut out the heart shape, Engrave is not the toolpath to use, nor is a chamfer tool your best choice. I'd use an endmill and a 2D Contour toolpath:

I am very close I think. I only see toolpath is generating only one run. How can I do it so that it will cut 3mm or 4mm deep ?
