Life Counter

thingiverse

This was designed as a 2 digit life counter for various table top games. It will hold any number 00-99, and I've included pieces you can combine to scale it to as many digits as you would like. For the details below I'll refer to the numbered cylinders as "spinners" and the other two pieces as the top/bottom. It's designed to lay on it's back with the number faces upwards. The other counters I found were too difficult to turn. I was looking to use them for Star Realms where your life total changes a lot regularly. They're a lot more stable to being jostled into a different number than they seem, but some proper shaking or knocking on the floor can change them. I found this design to be the best balance between ease of changing the numbers and stability. A the spinner settles into it's cradle there's a satisfying, gentle click that makes these things a great fidget as well.
