Freecad doesn't show me that from the step file input either.

In this case, I think I'd druther center it up in a 4 jaw, and bore it 
with a very sharp tool, say about half a thou per pass, or less, I can 
go .0002" at a time in diameter with my hand dials on the 
Sheldon. .0001" in radii.  Be a good excuse to find out how out of tram 
this Ender-3 is that is being corrected by the bed levelers, but that 
won't fix the axis lean.  And the Sheldon's spinning will easily detect 
that. 

I may yet drill access holes in the left post for the X bar leveling 
screw's access, as it not exactly plumb visibly.  Said another way, if 
it was setting on a dead level surface, a good Starret level, on the X 
travel bar, will show a bubble left of center by quite a bit. But there 
is no access to those two screws once the extruder carriage is mounted 
onto the post, so if its factory miss-adjusted OOTB, you've no way to 
fix that without drilling holes in the left post center web for allen 
wrench access.  Or take it back apart, make the adjustment, and put it 
back together to check it.  Needs to be done in any event if making 
rotating parts.  And these are.
