I looked all over for a good, printable, MTG life tracker, but couldn't find one I liked, so I designed my own.
The two middle rings rotate, but have nubs on them to keep them in place. The knurled knob on the end has to be loosened in order to turn the number rings. Once the knob is tightened, the numbers will stay in place. It's perfect for tracking points/life long term, as you can throw it in a bag or whatever, and it will keep the value in place until you loosen the knob again.
Shouldn't need any supports, and should be scalable to whatever size you want.
Edit
I revisited this after a long time and loosened the tolerances to print better. Should be much easier to print now.
Also separated the parts to allow easier modification.
Added spindle variants for 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 digit versions.
Edit 2
Some users pointed out that there was a problem with the spindle files for sizes above 2 digits. I finally fixed it, so they should all be good now.
