I did a couple of searches on this, but couldn't find anything on here. Apologies if it's already been discussed. 

When doing multiple pairs of skates (not even anything crazy, like 2-3 pairs), the heat presumably bonds the wheel to the arm of the machine making it impossible to get off without letting it cool for 5-10 minutes. That is an easy solution if there's time, but if it's before a game, sometimes we're running through 10+ pairs of skates with limited time. 

Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions/thoughts would be much appreciated.

You could try swapping rings every 1 or 2 sharpenings, either to a diffierent radius or another ring of the same radius. That would give it a chance to cool.

I noticed recently my fan no longer runs when I start a sharpening. Has anyone replaced their fan? I haven't check yet how easy it is to access it.

You have at least 3 months to figure out your ROH. I would go to a shop and request what you think you have and then try it out (probably 5/8 or 1/2 if you just get a standard or regular hollow without specifying). As far as price, there was the initial kickstarter price, then a pre-order price, then another increase in price. The current price is what is on their website. I got in on the early pre-order price and hope to see it in about about 3-4 months.
