Well spotted. There are some bad approximations to the 6LDu radius 16-agon in
the axlehole.dat primitive and these appear to have been carried forward into
other derivatives. Looks like a well-bounded project for someone to take on?

Two decimal places is generally considered sufficient for parts and
non-scalable primitives (and the axlehol* primitives should not be scaled in
the x or z dimensions). Scalable primitives, such as the rin, cyli, edge
primtives use 3 decimal places to allow them to be scaled up by a factor of 10
and still retain 2 decimal places.
