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

Wings thrown wide, a bald eagle drops out of a full moon with the whole forest holding its breath below. The talons reach. The feathers fan. There is real drama in this one, the kind of piece that stops people on their way past a wall and pulls them in for a closer look. Carve it once and you will understand why the eagle has always been the easy sell. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. Every flight feather is layered with its own ridge and shadow, the moon sits proud with a cratered face, and a row of pines runs along the base to ground the scene. The model is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, so it drops straight into the workflow you already run on your CNC router. It prints well on a 3D printer too if relief panels are your thing. For a crisp result, hog out the waste with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull all that feather detail into focus. Run it in oak, walnut, or maple and the grain plays right into the wings. Think lodge and cabin wall art, patriotic plaques, mantel pieces, and gifts for the eagle lovers and hunters in your life. The file is an instant digital download, so you can be cutting tonight. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve it, sell it at shows, and gift it to whoever needs a little wild on their wall. Add it to your cart and let the chips fly.

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.
