DDS neck peg circumference?

Hi! I searched the forum as best I as I could but I wasn't able to find this specific measurement. I'm ordering a custom head and was asked for the neck peg circumference (in metric, preferably, but not a big deal!)

I asked on one of the FB groups and was told it's 30mm, which seems... really big? But also within the realm of possibility - I just want to make sure

Thank you!

There is no way the peg is 30 mm. Someone may have misunderstood and thought you meant the neck. 

The neck on a DD / DDS is about 25 mm, and the peg is 7 mm. 

Okay see I thought it seemed a little extreme, but I've never had one in-hand so I didn't want to be rude haha. 7mm circumference, yeah?

Sorry, I misread that. 7mm diameter, so the circumference should be 22 mm. 

Is this a 3D modeled head?

Edit: I did something that would be a bit more precise, but my dial caliper is English system. 
 

The diameter is .273 inches which should equal 6.9342 mm.

The radius of that circle would be: 6.9342 / 2 = 3.4671

For the circumference: C=2πr=2·π·3.47≈21.78443

Just a caution though, the current DDS neck peg is not uniform in width. The tip of the peg is wider than the shaft and measures .292 inches, which equals 7.4168 mm, which would be a circumference of 23.3 mm. The shaft has a bend in it too.

A 3D printed head, which fit over the tip, will be loose on the shaft. The solution there would either be to wait for DDS 2.0, which should have a more uniform neck peg, or have the head made to fit the dimensions of the Asachan neck replacement part, which has a uniform dimension. 

It is 3d modeled, yeah. I really appreciate all your measurements, you're so sweet 💖

I hadn't thought about the potential release of a dds 2.0 - honestly i mix up the lines a little bit, i figured 2.0 was the same as f3 and the preceding design was one-piece torsos, i didn't realize there'd been so many variations.

I've never heard of the Asachan neck piece and I can't seem to find much about it, but that may not be a bad idea. I'm also honestly okay with a little bit of looseness in the head - it isn't ideal, but it isn't catastrophic either. I did order a neck adapter before (this one here) but it's more of an "in case nothing else works" back up option than what I'd prefer to use.

This is all an elaborate scheme to build myself a Frieren since I missed her official release and don't have $2000 USD to buy one second hand lol.

I think the head would rattle around and not pose properly.
