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 mother moose settles into the grass with her young calf tucked against her side, antlers spread wide, bluebonnets blooming at her feet. There is real tenderness in this scene. Carve it in walnut or maple and you get a quiet woodland moment that stops people in the hallway and makes them lean in close. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean carving. The fur reads as thousands of soft strokes, the antlers hold crisp ridges, and the wildflowers give the lower edge a gentle frame. The model is fully scalable, so you can size it for a small cabin plaque or a bold lodge centerpiece. It comes tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs well on a CNC router, a 3D printer, or a laser engraver using a heightmap workflow. For the cleanest result, rough the shape with a 6mm end mill at a 40 percent stepover, then drop in a 3mm ball nose at a 10 percent stepover to pull out the fur and the fine grain. Think cabin wall art, nursery nature decor, mantel pieces, lodge signs, and one of a kind gifts for anyone who loves the north woods. The file is an instant digital download, so you can be cutting tonight. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve these, sell them at shows, and gift them to family. Add it to your cart, send it to your machine, and let the moose and her calf come up out of the 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.
