Change your bits to something larger and press generate toolpaths? See what you get.

I would see what each gcode file looks like in a viewer. Then I’d decide what kind of fixture to put down on the machine to hold it in place so you can flip it over and do the other side.
This is a free Gcode Viewer.
is there a way to move the model so it the bottom sits flat on the bottom?
