greyscal Jarvis or What

[Charlesk]

I would like to burn this file but am unsure if there is a proper way to do this to have a good outcome
I have converted it to greyscale the outcome is acceptable but it takes 2 hrs to burn. I tried Jarvis and it started to look pretty good but then it started to shade where it wasn't supposed to.
I have downloaded files that were labeled 3D and burned excellent and fast. Is there any way of converting this file to something that will burn clean and be reasonable in time. I am at the end of my pay grade. I just thought there may be a way to transform this image into something other than what I can do

Here is a quick once over that may help you get started. The shapes need some tuning and the individual layers will need to be adjusted for your desired outcome.

Hand trace example - more work. I would massage the shapes a little more, but this gives an idea of how you can trace over an image manually.

The preview is messy, even with the 5 or so layers, it takes half the time that the image takes to engrave.
