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

Two moments of the Passion live on one panel. The face of Christ crowned with thorns fills the left side, weighted with sorrow, while behind him the crucifixion plays out on Calvary with mourners gathered at the foot of the cross. Carved in deep relief, this scene throws long shadows across the grain and reads like something hand-cut by a monk over many quiet winters. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for serious depth. The layered composition gives you real foreground and background separation, so the faces, the folds of the robes, and the rough stone of the tomb all hold their own light once the wood is finished. It is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it runs on a CNC router, a laser engraver, or a 3D printer. For clean results, rough the panel with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at a tight 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine work in the hair and faces. Cut it in walnut, oak, maple, or MDF for church wall art, altar panels, prayer room decor, memorial pieces, or commissioned gifts for the faithful. You get an instant digital download with commercial use included, so you are free to carve it, sell the finished work, or gift it to a pastor, a parish, or a believing family. Add it to your cart and start your next sacred carve today.

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.

I can't make such a beautiful high relief as in the photo. What am I doing wrong?

This seller has most of the 3D stl files for sale. None of the files can be opened in google drive. The instruction were followed. Files are able to be opened after they are down loaded in google drive. It requires a third party app. The files are too large. The files should be sent in a zip file. This seller is taking your money and you will get nothing. I highly suggest you don't buy anything from this seller.
