I modeled this from scratch, but it is inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3351902.
This is a 3-dial counter (for life or anything else you want to count). It is designed to use magnets for the indexing on the number wheels.
V2 is designed to work with 6mm x 3mm magnets. It will need 6 per counter.
V3 is designed to work with 5mm x 4mm magnets (or 2x as many 5mm x 2mm magnets)
Assembly is fairly straightforwards, see exploded view. Put the U-shaped clip through the center, expand the end, and place the small T-shaped pin in to hold it open.
To disassemble, pry out the small T-shaped pin. It's small so you can print another quickly/easily if you need to damage or destroy it for disassembly.
Due to OD to ID sliding, this is sensitive to uneven walls and beads where the perimeter starts/stops. There is a small cutout on the outer and inner wheels to hide the join inside, if your printer makes a lump at the join.
If your printer is inconsistent, I suggest printing extra inner/outer wheels and picking the 3 sets that click best to assemble with.
