About lvl30
lvl30 is the respawn of a site I missed running — this time pointed squarely at the two things on my desk most days: AI and 3D printing. The goal is signal without the lecture. Fun, useful, opinionated. Not overbearing.
No churned-out listicles, no hype cycles. Just things I'm actually using, printing, breaking and forming opinions about — written down so they're useful to you too.
What you'll find here
- ★ Reviews — Gear, printers, filament and frontier models — scored as they pass my desk.
- ◈ Print of the Week — What's cool to print this week — vetted models, settings and gotchas.
- ⌘ Local LLM Guides — Running capable models on your own hardware, without the hand-waving.
- ▶ Prompts That Work — A library of prompts that actually deliver — copy, paste, ship.
- ✎ Editorials — Opinions on where AI and making are actually headed.
- ⚡ News — Signal over noise — what actually matters in AI and 3D printing this week.
Why "lvl30"?
Past the tutorial, not pretending to be the final boss. Far enough in to know which tools earn their keep, still leveling up every week. Everything here is about getting you to the next level a little faster.
