Angular momentum for these strange nonplanar gears?

I wonder what would the angular momentum vector look like for these gears.

Hands holding a red 3D-printed sphere-like gear assembly made of many interlocking curved plates arranged in rings around a central core.

As it rotates, there is no clear direction on where the angular momentum vector is pointing. This object is symmetric.

Here's the video about these.

It's just 3 spinning rings, simply add their vectors.
