Just wanted to share with you all the guide I made with @sandervg for the Upgrade Tutorials

https://ultimaker.com/en/resources/20556-ultimaker-original-175mm-filament-conversion

It started as a personal need but for me it's a must for my daily prints. It has it's pros and cons, but with this guide you can do it and get a reliable system. I done this on my 3 umo+ and they are printing everyday an average of 3-7h each.

Share your experiences!

Nice! I won't be doing this anytime soon though, no need, and loads of leftover 2.85 material But the control is amazing you have with 1,75.
