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 small girl stands beneath a gnarled old tree while the Cheshire cat lounges along a low branch, watching her with that knowing grin. Wrapped around them sits the line everyone loves: Not All Who Wander Are Lost. Carved in wood, this scene reads like a page from a storybook, the kind of piece that stops people mid-step and makes them lean in close. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The sculpting holds real depth between the foreground figures and the recessed branches, so your shadows fall naturally and the leaves keep their crisp edges. The lettering sits proud and legible, the bark texture stays sharp, and the cat's stripes survive the finish pass. It is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it runs well on a CNC router, a laser engraver, or a resin 3D printer. For a clean carve, rough the relief with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at a tight 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine details in Alice's hair and the leaves. Cut it in hardwood, MDF, or resin for wall plaques, bookshelf signs, nursery decor, or gifts for the readers and wanderers in your life. The file downloads instantly, so you can be carving tonight. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to sell every piece you make from it. Add it to your library, run a sample, and turn this little Wonderland moment into signs people will actually fight over at your next show.

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.
