0.27 to 0.34 in(6.8 to 8.5 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 0.37 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
0.75 in or thicker
Rough with
1/8 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/16 in tapered ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 5 h 30 min (roughing 45 min, finishing 4 h 45 min)
Carving size
12 Γ 11.9 in (305 Γ 302 mm)
Suggested depth
0.40 to 0.50 in(10.2 to 12.8 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 0.56 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/8 in ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 6 h (roughing 40 min, finishing 5 h 20 min)
Carving size
18 Γ 17.8 in (457 Γ 453 mm)
Suggested depth
0.60 to 0.76 in(15.4 to 19.2 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 0.84 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1.25 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/8 in ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 14 h 15 min (roughing 2 h 10 min, finishing 12 h 5 min)
At the full 0.84 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.
Carving size
24 Γ 23.8 in (610 Γ 604 mm)
Suggested depth
0.80 to 1 in(20.3 to 25.4 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 1.1 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1.25 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/4 in ball nose (1/8 in for the finest detail, about twice as long), 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 15 h 50 min (roughing 5 h 5 min, finishing 10 h 45 min)
At the full 1.1 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.
Estimates for a mid-size hobby machine (Shapeoko, X-Carve, Onefinity class). Board and time are for the suggested depth. In Aspire, VCarve or Carveco, unlock Z from X and Y when you import and type the depth; keep the base height at 0. 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.

"All files comes out looking outstanding. This is my favorite place I go first to see new things. Wish I could color like they do."
"Love these, and seller is very good with help! Would definitely recommend! And they are awesome with the customized files."
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.
