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 hawk sits sharp-eyed on a weathered branch while a snake coils through the roots below it. There is real tension in this one, the kind of standoff you only catch in the wild for a second. Carved in wood, the feathers catch the light across the breast and wing, and the snake's scales ripple down into the gnarled bark. It is the sort of panel that stops people mid-conversation. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The depth is layered well, so the bird stands proud of the background while the branch and serpent fall back into shadow, giving you honest contrast without fuss. 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 a crisp finish, hog out the waste 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 feather detail and the fine lines in the snake. Scale it to suit your stock inside your software. Think wall art for a cabin or lodge, a statement sign, or a one-off gift for a bird lover or an outdoorsman. The file is an instant digital download, so you can have it on the machine tonight. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve it, sell the finished pieces, and gift them as you like. Add it to your cart, send it to your router, and let the chips fly.

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.
