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

Two moments from one life sit side by side in this panel. On the left, Mary cradles the infant Jesus close to her cheek. On the right, she holds his lifeless body across her lap, her hand resting gently on his chest. The flowing veil ties the cradle to the cross, and the whole scene carves with the quiet weight you want in a piece like this. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean toolpaths and real depth. The drapery folds, the faces, and the layered figures read sharply once finished, with crisp transitions from the deep background to the raised foreground. It loads and runs in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it suits a CNC router, a laser engraver, or a resin 3D printer. For wood, I rough it with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then finish with a 3mm ball nose at a tight 10 percent stepover to pull out the small details in the faces and folds. Carve it in walnut, cherry, maple, or basswood for altar panels, prayer room plaques, church decor, or a devotional gift that means something. You get an instant digital download, ready to drop into your software and start cutting. Commercial use is included, so carve it for your home, make pieces for your congregation, or sell finished panels at your table. Download it today and put this one on your machine.

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.
