Modular Number - Life - Score Counter

This is a remix of the great model https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4778677 (which itself is loosely remixed from others, but has a much simpler digit ring design),

with the following changes:

• The left side and stem are separated into two pieces.
• I added a new middle piece which can be used as a separator (I personally prefer the "slim" middle piece, but I've also included a "thick" one).
• The stem length can be customized via parameters in the Fusion 360 file (I included a few sample lengths).
• All of these pieces can now easily be mixed and matched, so you're not stuck with one layout (see the photo for some examples).

All necessary files (including the two versions of the digit ring) are included for your convenience.

(Note: This was originally published on Thingiverse, but like many others I finally decided to leave the sinking ship and move here instead…)

Update:  For those of you interested in the same model with the arrows on top, please check out this remix by rhaffos!

Update (2024-08-23): It turns out that the formula for the calculation of the stem length was slightly off, which caused longer stems with middle pieces to be (slightly) too short. I've now corrected this and uploaded the correct files. 

Assembly:

Print one each of the left and right side, optionally one or more middle pieces, one stem of the correct length for your configuration, and the necessary copies of the digit ring (note that there are two versions, turning up- or downwards to count up).

The left and right end pieces fit very tightly onto the stem on purpose, but I've added some tolerance for the middle piece so it can be slid around. You should still be able to remove the ends with some gentle force, if you ever want to reconfigure your pieces.

Customization:

I've included the Fusion 360 file with all necessary parts, in case you want to tinker more with it - like creating longer stems, or adding a logo, or adjusting the tolerance for the middle piece, etc.

Printing:

This should print quite easily with all materials, without any brim, raft or supports. I recommend a smaller layer height for the digit rings (and possibly a brim), but the main parts print well with 0.2 mm resolution.
