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

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Bring The Enchanting Glow Of A Venetian Christmas To Your Workshop Imagine the deep shadows of carved ripples and the intricate textures of a festive evergreen garland coming to life under your CNC spindle. This design transforms a simple slab of wood into a window overlooking a moonlit canal in Venice, ready to be displayed as a stunning holiday heirloom. ๐Ÿ›ถ Why Youโ€™ll Love This Design This masterfully composed scene captures the timeless elegance of Italy dressed for the holiday season.

The heavy pinecone-studded garland provides a rich, tactile frame that makes the central canal scene pop with artisan character and professional shadow play. ๐Ÿ“ What You Receive You will receive a high-detail, production-ready bas relief STL file where every bit of the complex sculpting work is already professionally finished. Simply import the model into Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, or your preferred CNC software to begin your toolpath creation. This is a digital product for machine use only, no physical item will be shipped to your address. ๐ŸŽ„ Meaningful Ways To Use It Transform premium timber into a stunning Italian holiday centerpiece, a sophisticated piece of nautical wall art, or a unique gift for travelers and woodworking enthusiasts.

Opens in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM and Fusion 360, and on any CNC router, 3D printer or laser that reads STL. No OBJ or DXF: a DXF holds flat 2D outlines and cannot carry a three-dimensional relief. Model size as supplied: 730 x 545 x 50 mm (28.7 x 21.4 in) Shape: landscape, 1.34:1 Relief depth: 50 mm, which is 6.8% of the width Mesh: 2,025,518 triangles, 96.6 MB Base: flat and at zero, ready to machine Recommended minimum carve size: 300 mm, where 97.5% of the fine detail survives a 3 mm ball nose. 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.
