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 mare leans close to her foal, manes flowing, both heads breaking out of the wood like they were always hiding inside it. Behind them sits a quiet ranch scene with a weathered barn and a rail fence. Carve this one and you get warmth, motion, and that protective bond between mother and young, all in shadow and grain. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for deep, dramatic carving. The layered depth gives you crisp manes, soft muzzles, and a background that fades back naturally so the horses stay front and center. It runs clean in Aspire, VCarve Pro, ArtCAM, and Carveco, and the toolpaths come out smooth on a CNC router. You can also run it through a 3D printer for a cast-ready plaque or a height-map workflow on a laser engraver. For the cleanest result, rough the shape with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then bring out the fine fur and detail with a 3mm ball nose at a 10 percent stepover. Scale it to whatever your stock allows, from a small tack room plaque to a full barn-door panel. Hang it as wall art, build it into a sign, or set it on a stand as a horse lover's keepsake. This is an instant digital download with commercial use included. Carve it for your own walls, gift it to the rider in your life, or sell the finished pieces at your next show. Grab the file and put your machine to work on a piece people will stop and stare at.

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.
