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

πŸƒπŸŽ­πŸ”” Bring The Spirit Of Mischief And Mystery To Life Imagine this hauntingly expressive jester emerging from a block of walnut or oak, his piercing gaze and knowing grin catching the light to create a stunning focal point in any room. 🎭 Why You’ll Love This Design This intricate relief captures the complex character of the court fool with stunning three-dimensional depth and hyper-realistic textures. The composition features a classic multi-pointed jester hat adorned with bells, sharp facial features, and a dramatic shadow play that creates a striking 3D effect. The ornate scrolled border perfectly frames the piece, giving it a high-end, finished look that mimics the work of a master wood sculptor. πŸ“ What You Receive A ready-made, high-detail bas relief STL with all artistic sculpting complete β€” no modeling work required. Open it in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, or compatible CNC software and prepare toolpaths.

Opens in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM and Fusion 360, and on any CNC router, 3D printer or laser that reads STL. No OBJ or DXF: a DXF holds flat 2D outlines and cannot carry a three-dimensional relief.

Smaller carves soften the finest details. Scale it to your own panel. Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; scale Z on its own for a shallower carve.
