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 trophy bass exploding out of the water, jaws clamped on the lure, while a lone angler works his line from the bow of his boat. This is the moment every fisherman chases, frozen in wood. Carve it and you can almost hear the splash and the drag screaming. Underneath the drama is a clean, high-detail bas-relief STL built to read well at almost any size. The scale texture on the bass, the lily pads, the reeds along the waterline, and the figure in the boat all sit at different depths, so the finished panel throws real shadow and looks hand-sculpted. It is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs just as happily through a 3D printer slicer. For the cleanest result on a CNC router, rough the panel with a 6mm end mill at a 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine scales and the water splash. Cut it in walnut, oak, maple, or MDF, and a light stain wash will make the fish and the foliage pop. Great for wall art, cabin signs, tackle room decor, and gifts for the fisherman who has everything. This is an instant digital download with commercial use included. Buy it once, carve it as many times as you like, and sell the finished pieces at shows, lake shops, or to friends. Add it to your cart, download the file, and put a giant bass on someone's wall this weekend.

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.
