The diameters of the connectors are 10mm and can be scaled to any diameter. Eg – if a diameter of 11.6mm is required, just scale the part to 116%.
The large straws in this model have a nominal diameter of 12mm. For this pack of straws which I obtain the internal diameter vary between 11.3 to 11.8 mm for different colors.
The length of the straw for the side of each square is 136mm and can be adjusted for a tighter or looser fit. Straws come in many sizes and variations of the diameter. We will need some trial and error to get a good fit.

This is printed in PLA with support.
Full disclosure: Straw connectors and geometric models are not my own original idea. The concept exists (or has existed) commercially, and there are many people tinkering with this on Thingiverse.
