*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

But if Massdrop had their european office in let's say Luxembourg (or any other EU country with low VAT) they would only need to charge 17% VAT. Especially the buyers from countries with high VAT would save a bit.
It's also about the hassle with the tax office. If I buy from the US, I dont get the package delivered to my house, instead I just get a letter from my nearest tax office. First, they have horrible opening times from 6:00 to15:30 and once a week from 6:00 to 18:00. It's like 20km away, than you have to sit there for like half to an hour, open the package in front of the tax officer, get weird looks because you bought keycaps for 200€, explain why you have bougth those weird expansive plastic keycaps, argue if they are tollfree or not (afaik keyboards, and keyboardparts are tollfree in Germany but dont count me on that), pay the VAT and drive home another 20km.
There's probably a better way. Got a Model M cable lately via Ebay from an US guy. Ebay handled all the tax/toll/shipping issues for like 20€ (well as expansive as the cable itself). The guy just send the cable to the nearest Ebay warehouse/office. I got the cable within 2 weeks directly delivered to my house with no additional hassle.
If Massdrop would go this way I would probably spend waaaaay to much money here, so better leave it the way it is.
