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

Picture an old stone cottage tucked against the rocks, a wooden windmill turning beside it, tall pines climbing the hillside, and a little rowboat resting on the quiet water below. This is one of those scenes that pulls you in close once it comes off the machine, with light catching every shingle, branch, and ripple. The finished carve feels like a window into a calm corner of the countryside. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The depth is layered well, so the foreground rocks and boat read sharp while the pines and rooflines hold their texture without muddying. It is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it runs nicely on a CNC router, a laser engraver, or a resin 3D printer. For the best result on wood or MDF, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover for the fine work. Use it for wall art, a mantel panel, a cabin sign, or framed decor for anyone who loves lake country and rustic scenes. This is an instant digital download, so you can have it loaded into your software within minutes. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve it, sell the finished pieces at shows or online, or hand one over as a gift that looks like it took weeks. Add it to your cart, send it to the machine, and watch this lakeside cottage take shape in wood.

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.
