Hi from Miss Diorama. In this video, I show you how I made yet another hobby paint storage rack solution for Army Painter paints, which holds a whole Mega Set (that’s 50 of their 18mL Dropper Bottles), which you can also make for yourself. I have available the SVG laser cut files or the kit for those who would like to get their hands on one of these, available at the following link:

I wanted a storage solution for my Army Painter 18mL hobby paints & I based it on the Rotating Rack that I made for Tamiya 10mL Enamel Paint Bottles; it needed to be able to rotate it so that any one bottle could easily be selected. I wanted it to be able to hold at least 50 bottles, and to be vertical to take up less space. So, I ended up with a 2-tiered solution that would allow me to be able to rotate the top shelf independently of the other, using clever integration of planetary gears into my design.
I hope you enjoy this video and if you do, please give it a thumbs up and if you haven’t already, please subscribe to my channel, I would really appreciate your support.

I want to make special mention of the following YouTube channels (with reference to their videos on planetary gears) that gave me the inspiration to make this little rotating hobby paint storage rack;

Rob Ives - @robivescom – this guy is surprisingly only a small channel, but he deserves to have so many more subscribers, so please go over there to his channel, check his videos out and subscribe to him as well while you’re there!
Then there’s this guy

He provides a 3D printed planetary gear module which is also amazing from which I also borrowed some inspiration!
