I do not have a caliper unfortunately but I do have one arriving in the mail in a week or so. I realized I needed one once I started trying to design things with a tight fit.

Very nice! Welcome to the joys of designing and making functional parts. I suggest doing two things:

Print, or buy, some radius gauges

Make some test parts to understand how your filament and printer behave. For example, materials like ASA will shrink. I’ve also found that outer dimensions are much more true to CAD than inner dimensions, especially for things like smaller diameter holes for threads. Some text prints will help you figure out what input results in a given output
