V1.1 updates:
- now text appears on both sides
- optional hole can be added/removed via varset

Font issue: I found that 3d model fails to open on my Linux laptop, this is because different OS have fonts in different places. To be able to open it without an error you'll have to download font file and place it at the same folder where you save the model. I can't upload font file, so here is the link: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/dejavu-sans , font name: DejaVu Sans Bold.

This model is more suitable for bigger radiuses, like 45+mm, but can be easily modified even for as small as 15mm (I still prefer steel gauges for small radiuses, even cheap ones, as they are much more precise)
There are two params you can control, the radius itself and the width of the gauge. Text on the model will be automatically updated to the number entered in the Dimensions varset. Be careful with setting too small radius (less than 15mm) or small radius and big width, eg. 50mm radius and 150mm width will break the model.
