I designed these dials to improve the ease of reading the handwheel dials on the MX-210v mini lathe, the stock dials and very difficult to read.

I recommend that you squeeze some black RTV into the recessed dial markings to get the best contrast. Paint may also work, but in my experience if the paint is too thin it will wick into the layer lines and look messy.

You can re-use the spring steel pieces for handwheel dial friction or use large o-rings for friction.

I uploaded STL/3MF mesh files and F3D/step model files so if you need to make changes you can.
