πŸ“ Design facts
Carving it at your size
Carving size
3.8 Γ— 8 in (96 Γ— 203 mm)
Suggested depth
0.27 to 0.34 in (6.8 to 8.5 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 0.54 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
0.75 in or thicker
Rough with
1/8 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/16 in tapered ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 2 h 40 min (roughing 20 min, finishing 2 h 15 min)
Carving size
5.7 Γ— 12 in (144 Γ— 305 mm)
Suggested depth
0.40 to 0.50 in (10.2 to 12.8 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 0.81 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/8 in ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 2 h 50 min (roughing 20 min, finishing 2 h 35 min)

At the full 0.81 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.

Carving size
8.5 Γ— 18 in (216 Γ— 457 mm)
Suggested depth
0.60 to 0.76 in (15.4 to 19.2 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 1.2 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1.25 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/8 in ball nose, 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 6 h 50 min (roughing 1 h, finishing 5 h 45 min)

At the full 1.2 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.

Carving size
11.3 Γ— 24 in (288 Γ— 610 mm)
Suggested depth
0.80 to 1 in (20.3 to 25.4 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 1.6 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1.25 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/4 in ball nose (1/8 in for the finest detail, about twice as long), 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 7 h 35 min (roughing 2 h 25 min, finishing 5 h 10 min)

At the full 1.6 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.

Carving size
13.8 Γ— 29.3 in (351 Γ— 743 mm)
Suggested depth
0.80 to 1 in (20.3 to 25.4 mm)set Z on its own when you import. Scaling all three axes together gives 2 in, deeper than you need.
Board thickness
1.25 in or thicker
Rough with
1/4 in end mill, 40% stepover
Finish with
1/4 in ball nose (1/8 in for the finest detail, about twice as long), 10% stepover
Estimated carve time
about 11 h 15 min (roughing 3 h 40 min, finishing 7 h 35 min)

At the full 2 in depth, a standard 1/8 in ball nose (about 3/4 in of cutting length) cannot reach the bottom. Use the suggested depth, or a long-reach bit.

Estimates for a mid-size hobby machine (Shapeoko, X-Carve, Onefinity class). Board and time are for the suggested depth. In Aspire, VCarve or Carveco, unlock Z from X and Y when you import and type the depth; keep the base height at 0. 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.

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.

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.
