    What do people think of using the computer cleaner spray on the printers?

    Why not? On the plastic parts, should work fine. On the bed, it may leave residues that may contaminate the print material. I clean with glass cleaner and 99.9% Isopropyl alcohol. Then spray with AquaNet extra Superhold.

    I don't think spraying anything into the extruder is a good idea. It may contaminate your filaments. Fingerprints on the bed, likely from the oils/dirt etc can/will contaminate the model, so I would think dust off may also. If anything use an air compressor, just air- not aerosol. Also the heat may prime any chemicals into the metals which can corrode and jack up the printer. So again, I'd stay with just air. ;)
