XY accuracy - printed body versus design body
A circular body
Inner radius of the printed body is 59.23 mm - model design 30.04 mm. 051 mm difference.
Any suggestions?

Not sure I understand the math here. I guess one is radius, the other diameter? But 60.08-59.23 = 0.85 diameter difference?
In any case I wouldn't be surprised to see some difference between model and design as the STL model is comprised of triangles, so you can't get a perfectly round perimeter.

The numbers look like there's a transcription error in there.
However, I've found that for many close-fitting parts, test prints and trial-and-error are in order.
