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

Head bowed, hands pressed together, the crown of thorns resting heavy above a face caught in quiet prayer. This is one of those carves that stops people in a hallway. The flow of the hair, the worn texture of the robe, the weight in those folded hands, it all reads as deep emotion the moment the light hits it. Finish it in walnut or oak and you have a piece that feels carried straight out of a chapel. What you get is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The depth is layered so shadows fall naturally across the beard, the thorns, and the knuckles without muddy spots or wasted passes. It runs smoothly in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it carves beautifully on a CNC router. You can also drop it into a 3D printer for painted or cast display pieces, or work it as a height map on a laser. For best results, rough the panel with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then bring out the fine detail with a 3mm ball nose at a 10 percent stepover. From there it scales easily for small prayer plaques or a full wall panel. This is an instant digital download, and commercial use is included, so carve it for your own walls or run a batch to sell. It makes a moving gift for Easter, Good Friday, a baptism, or anyone who keeps faith close. Download it, load your toolpaths, and let the wood do the rest.

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.
