Etch your circuits the easy way — with a resist pattern you make on a vinyl cutter. People typically use laser printers and transfer the toner from glossy photo paper, or they use uv lights and images of their circuit printed onto transparencies to develop a photoresist. My suggestion would be to design the dial in a vector drawing program like corel draw, illustrator, or inkscape , print (laser or ink jet) a positive on a transparency sheet, and use dry film resist (videos on youtube) to etch.

What is etching resist ink and how does it work on digital printing?

The really interesting part for us was using the vinyl cutter to make three parts of the process: My suggestion would be to design the dial in a vector drawing program like corel draw, illustrator, or inkscape , print (laser or ink jet) a positive on a transparency sheet, and use dry film resist (videos on youtube) to etch. We will skim over how to design and cut the pcb design into vinyl and at this point assume that you have a cutter or know someone with access to one (local hackerspace or even a local sign shop!)
