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

Dusty light over a frontier street, a saddled horse waiting at the rail, and the word SALOON swinging above weathered plank doors. This scene puts the whole Old West into one panel: desert spires under a low sun, a wagon wheel leaned against the porch, birds crossing the sky. Carve it and the wood grain does half the storytelling for you. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built to read clean at almost any size. The depth is layered well, so the horse and the saloon front stand forward while the distant rocks fall back into soft shadow, and the toolpaths track smoothly without choppy steps. It runs in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it is ready for a CNC router, a resin or FDM 3D printer, or a laser using a heightmap workflow. For a crisp result, hog out the bulk with a 6mm end mill at forty percent stepover, then come back and finish with a 3mm ball nose at ten percent stepover. Walnut, oak, cherry, or a hardwood blank all bring out the texture nicely. Make it into wall art, a bar or man cave sign, cabin and ranch decor, or a framed gift for the cowboy in the family. You get an instant digital download with commercial use included, so you can carve it, print it, and sell what you make. Size it to your blank, dial in your bits, and let the saloon come up out of the wood. Add it to your cart and start cutting today.

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.
