Kerf width, pieces not easily dropping in cuts, want wider cut

Christmas ornaments for example, kerf so tight, having to manually push out most small pieces. So I decided to raise laser height off work, thereby making a wider beam thus wider kerf. As I understood the kerf offset, it just moves the cut, not widening it. I am buring through on multiple passes, work looks great, just not seperating like I want. Is this the way to solve that problem? I realize it is not utilizing the laser focus efficently.

      Parts not dropping out is likely not an issue of kerf width. It’s more likely that it’s just not cut all the way through on certain areas. You could have an extremely thin kerf and have parts fall out as long as you were getting a complete cut.

Check the underside of the cut and try to identify areas that are not completely cut through, then devise a way of overcoming those issues.
