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

The water is roaring and Peter is going under, and then a hand closes around his wrist. That single grip is the whole story here. Jesus leans into the storm, robes pulled by the wind, while the sea churns in deep cut waves below. Carve this one and people will stop in front of it. The tension in the arms, the panic in the reach, the calm in His face. It reads like a sermon you can run your fingers across. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The wave work gives you genuine depth and shadow, while the figures hold crisp edges through the folds of cloth and the strain of muscle. It runs smoothly in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it carves well on a CNC router or prints sharp on FDM and resin 3D printers. For the cleanest result, rough it out 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 spray and the fine facial detail. Run it in walnut, maple, or basswood for a church panel, a prayer room piece, a devotional plaque, or a wall gift that carries real weight. The file downloads instantly, so you can be cutting tonight. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve it, sell it at your booth, or hand it to someone who needs the reminder that they are not sinking alone. Add it to your cart and bring this scene to wood.

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.
