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 young cowgirl stands beside her horse, her braid falling down the back of her denim jacket, one hand resting easy on the animal she trusts. The horse leans in close, reins draped loose. Carve this in walnut or maple and you can almost feel the quiet between them, that calm bond every horse person knows. It is the kind of panel that stops people in a hallway. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean, dimensional carving. The layered depth reads beautifully under a light wash of stain, from the woven straw hat and the stitching on the jeans to the soft muzzle and flowing mane. It runs smoothly through Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it is ready for your CNC router, with formats that convert for laser engravers and 3D printers too. For a crisp result, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine hair and fabric detail. Scale it up for a statement wall panel or down for a framed gift. Think ranch house wall art, tack room signs, barn decor, and one-of-a-kind presents for the horse lovers and western fans in your life. This is an instant digital download with commercial use included, so you are free to carve it, sell the finished pieces at shows and online, or gift it to someone who would treasure it. Download it now and put it on the spindle this weekend.

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.
