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 heart spilling over with blossoms, every petal layered on the next like a pressed bouquet set into reclaimed timber. The faded reds, dusty blues, sage greens, and creamy whites give it that lived-in, romantic feel the moment the toolpath clears the last pass. This is the kind of piece that stops people in a hallway and makes them lean in close. What you get is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The flowers stack with real depth, the petal edges stay crisp, and the rough wood border frames the whole arrangement so the heart reads from across the room. It is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, ArtCAM, and Carveco, and it runs just as happily on a 3D printer or through a height-map laser workflow. For wood, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at a 40 percent stepover, then drop to a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine petal texture and the grain in the backing board. Scale it up for a statement wall panel or down for a keepsake plaque. It carves beautifully in walnut, maple, cherry, or basswood, and it paints up gorgeously if you want to chase those soft heirloom colors yourself. This one was made for the people who give from the heart, so put it to work. Instant digital download, commercial use included. Carve it for a wedding gift, an anniversary, a Valentine, or Mother's Day. Sell your finished pieces, gift them to someone you love, and keep this file in your library for the next time you need something that feels handmade and meant.

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.
