Yes you can blow the dust out with a compressor, just make sure it is not a high pressure. I turn mine down to around 20-30 lbs to make sure it is not forcing dust into components and blowing parts around. I also use a soft bristle brush.
The cut motor intake and exhaust port does very little for dust control. It is for cooling of the cut motor. A add on duct collection attachment (see link in my signature ) is the recommended option for the best dust control for the machine. There are several options including 2 from the CarveWright store and several carve your own that are shared here on the forum.

They have a two horse power dust collector at harbor freight for some where around $169.00 to $199.00... It would save you a lot of heartache on buying parts and troubleshooting... When I looked at your picture, there is a lot of dust in it...
I second the opinion on the dust collection. After adding the dust devil insert with a shop vac my occurrences of machine failure have mostly gone away.
I have been remiss on cleaning out the dust from my system. I now have a new 9 pound great granddaughter.
So, if I clean up the system, I fear that it will not correct the problem. the Z axis encoder was not dirty, but I gently blew it out with a can of computer duster.
I would almost consider sending my system in for an overhaul, but my wife got tired of seeing the box that I have saved... just in case, and put it in the trash..
If worst comes to worst, I wonder if LHR would send me a new box, with all supports, to send it in for a complete tune up.
