Estimates for a mid-size hobby machine (Shapeoko, X-Carve, Onefinity class). Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; for thinner stock scale Z on its own. Hardwoods with fine grain (cherry, hard maple, walnut, basswood) hold this detail best. Check your exact setup in Will it cut, free, nothing uploaded.

How we estimate carve time

Finishing is one raster pass over the whole carving with the ball nose shown, at 10% stepover and half of a 1,800 mm/min (71 in/min) feed. Roughing assumes about 45% of the block above the base is waste, cleared with the end mill shown at 40% stepover and 3 mm per pass (1.5 mm for the 1/8 in end mill) at the full feed. The model leaves out acceleration, tool changes and moves between passes, so a real job usually takes somewhat longer. Times are rounded to 5 minutes.

Opens directly in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM and Fusion 360, and in any slicer for 3D printing. For a laser, the relief is first turned into a greyscale depth image, which our Laser Studio app does from this STL. STL only, no OBJ or DXF: the DXF files used in CNC work hold 2D outlines, not the 3D relief surface. Scale it to whatever panel you are cutting. Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; scale Z on its own for a shallower carve. How to open it in your software.

About this design

Four horses crowd the top rail of an old paddock fence, ears up, watching you walk across the yard. You can almost hear them snort. The manes fall in real strands, the noses catch the light, and the dry weeds at the base sway like a late autumn morning at the barn. Carved in wood, this one stops people in the hallway and makes them lean in close. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for deep, honest sculpting. The faces, the grain of the fence boards, and the tangle of grass all read clearly even on a modest panel, and the toolpaths come out clean with very little sanding to chase. The file is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, ArtCAM, and Carveco, and it runs just as happily on a 3D printer or a laser if depth carving is your thing. For a CNC router, rough it with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover for those fine mane lines and soft nostrils. Scale it up for a mantel piece or down for a plaque. Walnut, maple, oak, even basswood, all of them suit this western mood. Think barn signs, stable wall art, ranch decor, and one very good gift for the horse person in your life. Download it the moment you check out and get carving. Commercial use is included, so make these for your shop, sell them at the county fair, or hand one to a friend who lives for the saddle. Add it to your cart and put four horses on someone's wall.

Have a laser too?

Burn this design, or burn onto it

Laser Studio opens this STL with zero conversion and turns them into a ready-to-burn 3D-illusion engrave. Carving on your CNC instead? CNC Match lines up a name, a date or shading on a photo of the finished piece, so the laser burns right onto the carving.
