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.

β Why this design is different:
βοΈ Sculpted for a natural manual carving look
βοΈ Strong depth, shadows & clean detailing
βοΈ Includes realistic wood grain texture for premium results
βοΈ Machining Guidelines:
Rough Machining: 6mm End Mill, 40% stepover
Finish Machining: 3mm Ball Nose, 10% stepover
Depth of cut: Adjust based on machine rigidity and material

π DESIGN DETAILS
File format: STL only, a decimated high-quality binary mesh. Opens in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM and Fusion 360, and on any CNC router, 3D printer or laser that reads STL. No OBJ or DXF: a DXF holds flat 2D outlines and cannot carry a three-dimensional relief.
Model size as supplied: 627 x 629 x 50 mm (24.7 x 24.8 in)
Shape: square, 1.00:1
Relief depth: 50 mm, which is 8.0% of the width
Mesh: 2,025,270 triangles, 96.6 MB
Base: flat and at zero, ready to machine
Recommended minimum carve size: 200 mm, where 99.2% of the fine detail survives a 3 mm ball nose. Smaller carves soften the finest details.
Scale it to your own panel. Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; scale Z on its own for a shallower carve.
