The file 'Rotating Dice 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 351.3KB.
This was totally based on these nice and well machined rotating dice:

To make one, you'll need:
4 small bearings (3x10x4 mm) like these ones:

14 little magnet spheres (3mm):

a 45mm length metal rod, with 3mm in diameter. I used one with 2.7mm from a clothes hanger. By rule, the tighter, the better. I think 2.8mm will work well.
I've printed the supports with the drawings facing down. Try reducing the perimeters to one in the first layers. I found that the surface comes out more visually interesting. Just an opinion…
The images show the order of assembly.
The toy makes a nice sound when spinning.
There is a small margin of error, it can stop between numbers, but it doesn't ruin the experience :)

Update 3/31/2021: Improved dice discs geometry.
Update 7/2/2021: Added a support with a different drawing and a flat version.
Thanks for adding this to your collections! ;)
