Step 11: Save to your g-code creator.

Save the file as DXF, DWG, or whatever your g-code creator can handle.  I saved to a DXF. 

Open in your g-code creator, and create your toolpaths.

In my case, I used the outline with a 1/8" router bit, and the engraving with a 90 degree V router bit.  

I would recommend engraving the outline as well, because if you don't the patterns get kind of lost when you assemble the reptiles.
