And really you should be breaking down the extruder block(s) at least every couple of weeks...once a month at the absolute least. Personally I break down the extruder blocks every 2 weeks....the whole machine once a month.

Never got a chance to pull the bot stats from the old control board before it went kerput. =(
Holy cow! I had no idea that level of periodic maintenance was required. If you are making all of those Iron Man costume parts then I guess you must be running your printer 24x7. Could you elaborate on what breaking down "the whole machine" involves?
