Carbide Create/maslow software assistance

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone uses carbide create to make their cuts. It’s a bit tricky to understand especially for first time users. I was able to test something but my cuts were taking extremely long to complete. My Maslow 4.1 was taking up to 24 hours just tO cut one layer. And there’s about 4-5 layers. Basically a full week to cut out simple shapes from one piece of ply. Is this normal For everyone? Is it the software I’m using? A particular configuration that I need to adjust in the Maslow software or carbide create to make it cut faster? I’m still learning about all of this but I’m sure no one is spending an entire week with this thing on 24/7 to make one cut. Please advise. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
