M3x12 Sheared Off
 

I'm in step 15 of assembly. I thought I had aligned the third m3x12 screw.

It wasn't tightening and when I tried to remove the screw, it sheared off.

There are no spare m3ne nuts either. 

Be bold. Be brave. Be better.

I believe its better if you contact chat and inform them about this fault. They will probably send you some spares. If you can't wait that long you could go to the hardware store or buy it online locally.
