These toy gauge dials are my own design, however, the overall gift idea is not original to me.
Check out this video for a quick understanding of their intended use.

How to print the gauge dials in two colors like I did (white for base, red for needle and marks):
In Cura slicer, in the top menu, click on "Extensions" then "Post Processing" then "Modify G-Code" then "Add a Script," and choose the script that's named "Pause at height" and enter 0.9 mm, or if you are selecting based on the layer number, then it will depend on your layer height in your slicer settings. My layer height was 0.3 mm, so for layer number I entered 3. Checkmark the options to make sure your motors stay engaged, your heat stays on (tell it a temp), and to get a beep at the pause. When the print job pauses, then unload the white filament, load the red filament, and then resume the print job!
