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.
