try a 2d contour toolpath.
it will follow the outline and inside, use tabs as necessary.

that worked perfectly thank you! I am getting a new error now however. I am trying a simple shape but chilipeppr stops shortly after beggining and gives the error “% not allowed”, “Bad number format”, “Invalid command”. I cant find the meaning or solution to this at all.

Here is the Gcode for what I am doing if it helps and a screen shot of the error.
