I think there will be an adapter kit to turn you 3mm ultimaker into a 1.75mm printer so that you don't have to throw away filament. This kit will be available at 3dsolex.com but until then I recommend you put it aside for a while and buy some 3mm filament (actually 2.85mm! 3mm filament is too large for the UM although most people who say 3mm mean 2.85 or 2.9).
What country are you in anubis? If you are in Norway I can get you a free trial kit most likely. Or possibly in USA. Possibly.
That's cool. I suppose it would be a bowden 6-2mm dia to fit to the nozzle throat and a nozzle 1.75 + 0.2 bigger bowden clamps so it doesn't slip on retracts? That should make the ptfe coupler last longer since its cheaper to replace a ptfe bowden than a ptfe coupler. Also should allow to print cooler pla/abs
