    Hi guys - just got my printer a few days ago and wondering...what is the clear plastic cover that fits over one "shoulder" at the top of the main printer cover? It came in the box with my assembled printer, it's branded with Robo 3D logo and has a 5mm hole in it, but I don't know what its for! No reference to it in the documentation...

    This is the Robo 3D spool holder. You screw in the acrylic rod into the end and then place it on the printer. You want to remove the tape cover that's on the inside first so it sticks to the printer.

    Don't bother-it's useless. Print out one of the spool holders on Thingiverse.
