Topic: Da Vinci 1.0 Pro filament size

so i accidentally ordered 3mm (2.85mm) PETG filament.....my question is, can i extrude this through this printer?   its completely stock, but i use Simplify3d so i can control feedrates quite well.  I know it will likely be slower, but i typically print ABS and PLA slower than most would.

It's 1.75mm only. In fact there are very few printers on the market anymore that use the 3mm stuff. So you would be better off trying to get a return. The 3mm stuff will not fit the throat of the extruder.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
