    The Robo magnetic cover plate for the hot end blocks the airflow from the cooling fan.

    Suggestion: Use a perforated cover plate to allow the cooling air to flow through it, but still protect fingers from touching the hot end.

    Not a bad idea. I haven't had any real issues with it on my C2 even with two extruders in there going to town, but it is still not a bad idea. More airflow around the cooling fins can't be bad.
