The ebay seller has said this is down to damage of the user so will not replace the part. does anyone know where i can get a GT2560 extension board that comes with the 3-in-1 control box like in this picture below https://www.geeetech.com/images/s/Geeetech_20160226230729_4.jpg I have contact geeetec...

This is the model I have Geeetech prusa I3 A Pro with the 3 in 1 control box. The control box has a cooling fan in it the extension board on the back of the printer doesn't, i haven't seen anyone else do this mod so i'm unsure if its necessary? I cannot be the only one using this printing doing 7-8 ...

I wasn't aware that there was a maximum print time as nothing was mentioned about any cool-off period in the instructions.

When i look at one of the cables the wire does appear to be slightly recessed but I'm talking 100th of a mm. Will try to make a better connection with the wire...
