The toolpost indicator holders I see on thingiverse and being sold on Ebay have the dovetail as part of the 3d printed part.
I modeled some that can be put in a standard AXA/BXA tool holder. In case anyone is interested, I uploaded them to thingiverse.
The hole is just over 1/2" diameter x 1" deep, so the end-user can make a steel or brass threaded insert and epoxy into the hole.
It is modeled as a set, so one can be used for each position on the standard Aloris type toolpost.
I used 3 shells, 30% hexagonal infill and plenty of tree type supports to print these test versions.
The .stl file should be available here:

This includes one to fit each of the toolposts dovetails. Once for indicating the OD, and one for the face of the part. Print with 3 shells, at least 30% infill and use supports. The hole is for a threaded insert, which you can purchase or make using your lathe.
