Adam, you're right. In the white paper post, I mention alternative methods of making the more simple of the two spacers, the most obvious of which being to turn them down on a lathe. I'd imagine that some .75" OD, .5" ID ABS Tubing would do the trick - turn the OD down to .745" (18.9mm) or so and open the ID up to .515" (13.1mm) and you should be good to go. At the time, printing them was both more cost effective (made 7 spacers using $1 dollar or so of ABS) and more time friendly. (~30minutes total)
