What maintenance routine do you suggest? (what to do, at what intervals, using what consumables).
I check everything pretty closely whenever I stop for the day. Doing that has kept problems down to a minimum for me. Whether or not I wipe anything down depends on what the conditions are like. Sometimes I'll clean things more, sometimes less.
