How to make
Step 1: Print the parts. By using "Pause at height" function of Cura, you can give different color to the letters.

Step 2 : weld the axis (pin) with a soldering iron. Make sure it rotates smoothly.

Step 3 : Adjust the origin (0g) using counter weight at the hook position. Do not attach main weight in this step.

Step 4 : Adjust the main weight with an object of known mass. Now all set.

Angle of rotation of the scale is arc tangent of the weight of payload.
Angle of rotation of the scale is calculated by the arctangent of the weight of payload, so it can map from 0g to infinity into 0 - 90 degrees.
