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

Three horses break into a gallop across an open plain, manes flying, with a ridge of mountains rising behind them and a low moon hanging in the sky. Set inside a round frame carved to look like a split log, the whole scene reads like a window cut straight into a slab of timber. Finish this one and people will reach out to touch it. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean cutting. The depth is layered nicely, near horses standing proud of the pines and peaks behind them, so the finished carve throws real shadow and the wood-grain border keeps that rustic, hand-hewn feel. It is sculpted and tested for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and Fusion 360, and it runs on a CNC router, a 3D printer, or a laser set up for height-map work. For a crisp result, rough the surface with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back and finish with a 3mm ball nose at 10 percent stepover. Scale it up for a statement wall plaque or shrink it down for a lid inlay or a small gift, the detail holds either way. Think ranch house decor, cabin signs, lodge wall art, and presents for anyone who loves horses. The file is an instant digital download, so you can have it on your machine and cutting tonight. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve it, sell your finished pieces at shows and online, or give them to friends and family. Grab it, load it up, and let those horses run.

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.
