(Was thinking might be seasonal, but that can't be it :)<br /><br />On the pitch I think it was me taking an off measurement and assuming too quickly they had a nice round metric 25mm as pitch. The part is actually surprisingly accurate, at the printers they already take shrinkage etc into account. My take-out was that I should've made paper templates for the critical dimensions first to check the design.<br /><br />You're right, it does look credible as a whole :)<br />It is rather neat to be able to make affordable one-off 'cast' parts like that as a hobbyist.

I had the same problem. Internal diameters are clearly something which needs some serious consideration when 3D printing, as the outcomes don't seem to remain true to the design. I suspect this may be happening by a consistent amount, so it may be able to predict accurately what happens.
