We offer a tool head specifically for 1.75mm filament.

[The M175:](https://shop.lulzbot.com/lulzbot-m175-tool-head-single-extruder-kt-cp0175?ref=KT-CP0175)

We do not recommend running the smaller diameter filament through the SE or HE tool heads as the diameter of the hot end is much wider and can cause jams/clogs that are quite difficult to get out.

I’ve printed 1.75 mm filament with the older standard print heads without any trouble using the guidelines on the lulzbot website. I’m using a Taz 6.

The hexagon hotend is quite a bit different than the Titan Aero from e3d.

The response e3d gives regarding running 1.75mm filament in a 3.00mm tool head is, “You cannot use 1.75mm filament in a 3mm hotend.”

We do have a tips and tricks guide, but as it states at the bottom, the possibility of clogging and jamming the tool head increases.
