Maybe I can help here...

Looking at the zippy build method they use alot of solder, and a pcb style end piece that all of the tabs are soldered onto. In places there may be less than 1mm between 2 of the solder pads. That and the overuse of solder may have been the issue. I am guessing the solder may have heated enough to melt and then bridged over causing a short.
