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

A skeleton gunslinger leans out of the wood like he just stepped off the last train to nowhere. Battered cowboy hat, a torn jacket hanging open, a skull-buckle gun belt loaded with cartridges, and a bony hand resting easy near the holster. Carve this one and people will stop and stare. It has that perfect mix of Old West grit and graveyard menace, the kind of panel that owns a wall. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built to machine cleanly. The folds in the cloth, the weathered leather, the ribs of the cartridge belt, and the texture of the skull all hold their depth so your toolpaths read crisp from rough to finish. It is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it runs well on a CNC router or a 3D printer. For a clean result, hog out the bulk with a 6mm end mill at forty percent stepover, then come back and finish with a 3mm ball nose at ten percent stepover. Scale it to whatever your project needs inside your software. Think vertical wall panels, saloon and bar signs, man cave decor, gothic western pieces, and Halloween projects that actually look carved instead of stamped out. This is an instant digital download, so you can be cutting chips tonight. Commercial use is included, which means you can carve it, sell the finished pieces at shows or online, and gift one to the outlaw in your life. Add it to your cart, send it to the machine, and let this dead-eyed cowboy ride.

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.
