How To 3D PRINT & Make Silicone Moulds MASTERCLASS With @chateaudelalacelle-Chateau Restoration Rays [xiD1HqcW80A]

Can modern technology save a 19th-century French chteau? Join us as we continue the complete transformation of our chteau entrance hall with Terry & Ash from Escape to the Dream: Restoring the Chateau. Together we discover how a Bambu Lab 3D printer and silicone mould making can recreate missing antique carvings, restore our spectacular 18th century mirror, and bring centuries-old decorative details back to lifeall for a fraction of the traditional cost.

In this episode:

Learning 3D printing for chteau restoration and more

Restoring an enormous antique entrance hall mirror

Creating silicone moulds and resin castings

Reproducing historic architectural details

Behind-the-scenes chteau renovation in France

The biggest project is our magnificent antique entrance hall mirror, which has suffered decades of damage, missing carvings and broken decorative elements. Using a Bambu Lab 3D printer alongside silicone moulds and resin casting, we're learning how to faithfully recreate missing pieces that would otherwise take months to sourceor cost thousands to have hand carved.

Along the way we also:

Unbox our new Bambu Lab 3D printer

Learn how 3D scanning and STL modelling work

Print our very first decorative acanthus leaf

Recreate missing antique mirror carvings

Make silicone moulds for ornate plaster decorations

Create a copy of an original Entrance Hall corbel

Explore how 3D printing can transform historic home restoration

Begin planning decorative mouldings and architectural details for our chteau entrance hall

One of the most exciting discoveries is just how affordable these techniques can be. Decorative elements that once required highly specialised craftsmenor months of searching through antique marketscan now be recreated with astonishing accuracy while preserving the original character of historic interiors.

ABOUT US:

Bonjour! Im Vivienne, an artist, designer, antique & vintage jewelry dealer, and also the chtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful husband, Simon, our daughter, and whenever possible lovely friends and family.

This is not our first chateau! 26 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, after 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit chteau, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and of course antiques and art!

We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by chteaux, both public and private, which we ignacio buse can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating chteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Chteau Love!
