Using 1,75mm filament with 2,85mm extruder

Hello,

Just a simple question concerning Prusa i3: I've got 3mm extruder handling 2,85mm filament. Can I use 1,75mm filament with this extruder? It seems that 2,85mm ABS is harder to get every month.

Best regards,
Chris.

Depends on the design, but mostly no, The hobbed bolt or what ever its using to pull filament is the wrong shape or just to far away to grive 1.75 when designed for 3mm
