Your tool size of 0.5 mm is too thick to fit inside that tiny text to make pockets. If you change the tool to a 0.2 mm endmill it would work better.

Whoops, my bad. It is actually a laser, about 0.06. I keep forgetting to reset the tool size, and with my bad eyes the 0.06 looks like 0.5 unless I stare at it.

Chaning to 0.06 and all better now.
