I haven’t seen recommendations for this, but I work with the Snapmaker near some power tools that kick up a lot of sawdust, you guys think the motors need cleaned out now and then in this situation?

Yes. There was an FAQ on how to do it but it looks like it’s been taken down.

There is some some discussion of disassembly, clean, and lube here: How to maintain the snapmaker in perfect condition?

There’s some disassembly and reassembly instructions spread over the faq: Snapmaker 2.0 – Snapmaker

It’s not hard to remove the steel strip and blow out with gentle air then retighten strip.

Yes, GENTLE AIR and low suction vacuum if you need to use one. Don’t do what I did and use a vacuum with strong suction and suck up a strip, that sucked.
