Explanation:
The teaching aid initializes at the bore
-- we don't know which bore, but probably the one in the teaching plate --
thus creating a slightly visible gap.

NO this is not a crack in the material!!

The learning system uses the bore as its zero-point, or origin in an orthogonal space. This is the point where it is initialized.
