Currently, Blufans only ships their orders within China, not to overseas.

IMO, not worth the risk for a few mm overhang. I get that it looks a bit messy and I've noticed the same or at least similar (not quite as extensive as yours it has to be said) on a couple of my own Blufans. I just think for your first attempt at a Lenti reconfiguration, it shouldn't be an OOS/OOP GOTG Vol.1 Blufans edition, lol.
). And reading you bought the OC for a good price, hopefully you won't lose out in the end.
