wow. ok, so your power wires are safe but the motor ones could short? as sike pointed out ours are the other way round. oculd this be the fatal error? would be an easy fix... make the heatsink have smaller cutouts :)

could that cause the instant failure??? short for a brief moment which cooks something and everything seems cool?

It can definitely cause a short. I've seen some that burned down for no reason and a short could've caused it. I have to figure something out before running it so I don't have any problem that could be dangerous.
