Printed ring with smaller diameter than was defined

I am rather new to the 3D printing hobby and I am using a i3 MK3+ printer for this. I have done som printing of already finished items from the SD card delivered with the printer and some item from printables.com. To day I thought that I should try to print something I had designed myself. So I designed a ring with a certain diameter in Fusion and exported it to the Slicer and from there to a Raspberry Pi, running OctoPrint (as I also did with other prints). The problem is that the  printed result is a bit smaller: the diameter is about 5 mm shorter than defined in Fusion. I used the PETG filament for this print. So is there anyone who has an idea what I have done wrong? I need some help with this.
