Topic: 3mm filament???

So i bought 3mm filament by mistake... because I'm an idiot. Now i have a bunch of this laying around and was wondering if there are any upgrade i could print off to allow the larger filament? or should i just go buy 1.75mm and follow simple instructions like an adult? THANKS!

your gonna need a new hot end  my friend, if you wanna print with 3mm.  cant you email your supplier and ask them if you can exchange it for 1.75? or maybe someone will trade you?
