A tube that holds two things a set distance apart: a circuit board off the bottom of its case, a panel off a wall, a wheel off a frame. Round, or hexagonal so a spanner holds it.
The hole is the screw's diameter plus a little: 3.2 mm for M3, 4.3 mm for M4 to pass freely, or 2.5 mm for M3 to cut its own thread. For a hexagon the outer size is measured across the flats, as a spanner is. The hole is kept at least 1.5 mm from the outside, so a thin wall cannot happen.
Print it standing; the length is exact to a layer. A small part prints better with a few copies on the bed at once, so each layer has time to cool.
