Just move your extruder to a higher position or make a smaller nozzle would help in getting the correct diameter. Lots of info to be found on the filastruder forum about this

Nothing about the filastruder that can not be used for your own extruder when using the same gravity based width control technic. If you're extruding ABS then nozzle size, temperature and height is important to get to the final width including correct placement of the fan and controlling the stability of the temperature. Also your type of ABS and it's specifications like flow rate will influence the optimal settings.Quote

i had it closer to the floor and then i raise it up a bit. it didn't help . also i had 1.35 hole and then i went to 1.7. that didn't help either. the filastruder forum doesn't have diy builts ( or at least i didn't found any ) buy only the the filastruder extruders.

The lyman uses a 4.5mm nozzle.

i didn't knew that. what diameter the filastruder use ? and if you don't mind asking what do you use?
when i started i started with 1.2 going up to 1.5 that i drilled today. in the past i even used 1.35 1.25 1.45. but i saw that this is not so important as it changes as the temp change . .

With any filament extruder you will need to discard the first few feet of filament. The diameter won't be consistent until the conditions of extrusion reach a steady state.

Once it has started to coil on the floor, is the diameter consistent?

It works best if there is enough open space below the extruder that it can coil in a circle with the nozzle at the center. If there are table legs or other things under the table for the filament to bump into, it will have a hard time maintaining diameter.

Then you would be close to the stratasys usd200,- filament specs and no the standard usd 20,- rollsQuote

what ? is it true ? i want the filament to get to 0.005-0.01 difference .
