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 proud whitetail buck stares out from the wood, his antlers reaching wide while two does graze on the rocky ground below him. Oak leaves, ferns, and twisting branches frame the whole scene like a window into the deep forest. Carve this one and you get a piece that stops people in the doorway, the kind of panel that belongs over a fireplace in a hunting cabin. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for real depth and texture. The fur on the buck, the grain in the antlers, the layered foliage around the edges, all of it reads clean off the machine with crisp shadow lines and no muddy spots. It is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it runs well on a CNC router or a 3D printer. For the best surface, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine fur and leaf work. Cut it in walnut, oak, maple, or MDF for lodge wall art, rustic plaques, mantel panels, man cave signs, or a standout gift for the hunter in your life. You get an instant digital download with commercial use included, so carve it, sell it at your next show, or gift it to someone who loves the outdoors. Add it to your cart and put a wild buck on the table 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.
