Yeah I can see your point. How is maintenance handled for other machines in the space? Can you give me some more background on what printers have been at the space and the impression people have had?

Ok... I'm thinking that this is something that needs to happen. As Chris stated earlier the makerspace runs as a "do-ocracy" so I would be willing to spearhead this. I might be able to get Flashforge involved or maybe MakerRx could donate a used model.
It sounds as though it's good to incentivize maintenance somehow or at least have an active user base that know how to do the maintenance.
Could I get like 3-5 Volunteers who I could teach printing/maintenance too? No need to put money up for a printer just if you think this is something you could get into and rally behind.

I understand your point, and I think I can see what you’re hinting at. Like I said before I supply all things 3D printing and electronics to schools, hobbyists and businesses. In addition to being a contract mechanical designer. Now if you believe this is an issue with getting volunteer labor, i'll follow your experience in how the makerspace operates.
Your idea of monetizing it would probably work. I would be willing to spearhead the maintenance and training if members wanted to pay for training or purchase filament from me or a combo of both. Maybe offer discounts to people who want to do maintenance?? I’m spit balling here let me know your ideas.
