FUSION 360: 3D Shapes Using Initials

 I experimented with 2 sets of initials to achieve the end result recorded below. Initially, I began with the letters "J", "E" & "C" but struggled to shell out the shape no matter what changes I made to the "E" in the middle. I attempted with both linear & curvilinear designs but was not successful due to the tightness of corners within the shape. My second attempt used the letter "J", "Y" & "C" and this time, the shell tool was successfully implemented at 2mm.
