Akai X-1800SD Capstan Sleeve

Picked up an Akai X-1800SD that didn't have a capstan sleeve. Replacements seem to go for about $40 and I wasn't sure that it was to blame for the slow speed of my unit, so I made my own. From what I gathered, the dimensions of the actual sleeve are 6mm outside diameter, 3mm inside diameter, 13.4mm length. When I tried this the inner hole was much too small, and attempts to drill it made it too loose. This is a little bit of a larger hole, but it fit on with tension (took a little bit of light coaxing with a hammer). It may be that my printer settings weren't ideal, but this is a pretty easy thing to model.
