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 ram stares straight back at you, those heavy spiral horns sweeping down past his ears and a river of curly fleece pouring off his chin. There is real weight to this animal. Carved into a slab of oak or walnut, the contrast between the tight ridges in the horns and the loose, wandering curls below makes the whole piece feel alive under a raking light. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean machining. The horn ridges, the short fur across the face, and the deep wavy wool all read as separate layers of depth, so the toolpaths stay crisp instead of muddy. It is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it runs on a CNC router or a 3D printer (convert the file for laser engraving if that is your tool). For the cleanest result, rough the shape with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back and finish with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull out every curl and ridge. Scale it to fit a small plaque or a full wall panel inside your software. Think cabin and lodge decor, farmhouse signs, mantel pieces, or a personal gift for anyone who keeps sheep or loves rugged wildlife art. You get an instant digital download with commercial use included, so carve it for your own walls, cut a batch for craft fairs, or build it into pieces you sell. Add it to your cart, download it, and get this ram onto your spoilboard today.

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.
