Hi, thanks for your response. It's just 5 spools, not that much. We've already ordered new ones at 2.85mm, but I figured asking doesn't cost anything and maybe there's an easy solution I've not yet realized.

Hi everyone, we've been using the Ultimaker 2+ on our campus for quite a while and we're generally very happy with its performance. Recently, my boss ordered a bunch of new filament, but since he didn't know better (or forgot to double check) we accidentally ended up with a bunch of 1.75mm filaments. Now, the purchase was made at the end of last year, so I highly doubt we have the option to return the unopened stuff as its mid March now. That being said, I've been trying to solve this issue the past few weeks (or months ... I've kinda lost my sense of time during quarantine) by carefully calibrating the printer and printing a few new feeder parts to make the 1.75mm filament work. Spoilers: It didn't work. Since printing new parts doesn't seem like a feasible option, my remaining options are to either buy a third party conversion kit for UM2+ or to just give it up with the 1.75mm business and try to resell the remaining filaments. I've tried to do as much research as possible on my own, but at the end of the day, I'm left with these two products that seemed like hopefully well-performing conversion kits: https://www.gearbest.com/3d-printer-parts/pp_009724358436.html https://www.dynamism.com/mosaic/mosaic-palette-ultimakerconversionkit.html Does anyone have experience with either of these or some other succesful method for converting an Ultimaker 2+ to 1.75mm? I'm struggling to find any kind of review online for these products and I'd rather not make my boss buy another useless thing that's just sitting around.
