Model: [link](https://makerworld.com/en/models/1312949-asanoha-pen-holder-desk-organizer#profileId-1347526) My previous "pen holder" was starting to rip, so printed out a nice looking alternative, although in reality it is smaller than I thought, and some things like scissors didn't fit well here.

“Moar statues…”

I liked this model a lot too (and original statue), but alas it is not as detailed as the Marcus Aurelius one.

Now that I picked up Marble filament (Elegoo PLA Marble Cement Grey), I am trying out some busts and other statue-like items. First up, Marcus Aurelius bust.

We gonna need a smaller nozzle…

Attempt #2 on printing a “moon” lamp lithophane, after asking Gemini for how best to optimize BambuStudio settings… meh. Basically the same; slight improvement on reduced number of pinholes (under-extrusion).

Claude Local Replacement

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 22:31:28 -0400

This post is highly work-in-progress; gathering thoughts and ideas for now.

Goal
#

build a near-equivalent of Claude using locally served models using Ollama
evaluate how close or far they are from, say, Sonnet 4.6

Mise-en-scène

Pieces:

Chat tools

Did a bit of research (Gemini), and suggestions are:

oterm: best all around, for general chat
aichat: power-user choice, good for coding
mods: nice, but more pure CLI tool
elia: similar to oterm, but maybe better? If I can get it running…

oterm

To install oterm, best to:

Ooof, that was rough. Blogger underwent many migrations since I used it last, and whatever migration tooling people have come up with in the intervening years, all are now broken, unsurprisingly. After much Gemini poking, back-and-forth, we arrived at this, which “works” (reads atom.feed):
